We are able to help clients facing the struggle of dividing all types of complex property, regardless of whether or not it is listed above.
The decision to work with an attorney may be the smartest choice that you ever make. Complex property division divorces are just that – complex. Valuating, and sometimes, even uncovering, assets in a divorce requires the help of a professional. Once property is valued, knowing how to divide it in an equitable manner, and understand the tax consequences of that division, is both challenging and essential to protecting your financial future.
Illinois law holds that any property that is considered to be “marital property” is subject to equitable division, which is division of the property in a manner that is fair and reasonable.
While you and your spouse are highly encouraged to reach a property division agreement out of court, if you cannot do so, a judge will make a property division determination on your behalf by considering each party’s contributions to the marriage, the length of the marriage, the value of the property, whether a prenuptial/postnuptial agreement exists, and a number of other factors, including any factors the court finds relevant.
Having to give up property that you have worked hard to own or that you have become accustomed to having can be frustrating, and may have such a financial impact on your life that you are forced to make significant changes, or lose out on financial opportunities. When you are facing complex property division questions in a divorce in Illinois, our Chicago property division attorneys at Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group are here to represent you. Both during negotiations or in the courtroom, we are competent, highly skilled, and committed to our clients.
