Experienced Asset Division Lawyers in New Jersey

The first step in establishing the equitable distribution of property is determining which assets are marital property and which are separate property. Marital property includes any assets that were acquired by either spouse or jointly during the marriage as well as a previously owned property that was improved during the marriage. Separate property includes anything owned prior to the marriage, any gifts or inheritance received during the marriage, and any property acquired after filing for divorce.

Factors to Consider

Our New Jersey lawyers work closely with our clients to determine which property should be characterized as marital property and which is separate property. Then, we work to establish the value of the joint property. Often, we work with accountants, forensic accountants, real estate evaluators and other professionals to determine the true value of the marital estate. The court then applies a number of factors to determine the equitable distribution of the property. Some of those factors include:

Length of the marriage
The age, physical health and emotional health of each person
The income and earning capacity of each party
The standard of living during the marriage
The present value of the property
The debts and liabilities of each party
Any tax consequences associated with the distribution the marital property

We recognize that property distribution issues are as complex as they are emotionally charged. We strive to provide our clients with reasoned advice related to the distribution of marital assets. Our attorneys examine our client’s finances, the equity in their home and the value of their cars. Then we work to ensure our clients receive the fairest possible distribution of the marital assets, whether through negotiation or at trial.

Ron surpassed my expectations in my case. He always kept me in the loop, updated me with any change, and answered ALL of my questions.. And I had a ton! He was very knowledgable, honest, supportive, and calm. I was nervous every step of the way and he listened to each and every one of my concerns. He was always available by phone and email; He responded very promptly to every email I sent (I sent a ton!). Ron is an extremely trustworthy lawyer. Listen to what he says and have faith in him, you will be as impressed as I am! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better outcome in my case. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to represent me, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing lawyer!! His staff is amazing as well!!

I am a Father and my daughter wanted to live with me and attend school closer to my home (I wanted to enroll her into private school) so that would mean I would need to become the primary parent of residence. I thought it would be impossible to get that changed because I also have a career as a firefighter so my work schedule rotates and its 24 hour shifts. I contacted Robyn and she was upfront and honest provided me with possible outcomes. Robyn was outstanding! She had to do the work of two attorneys because the defendants’ attorney would not submit paperwork to the court in a timely manner and that would’ve slowed the process. The case went to trial and having the experienced attorney really showed! I am now the primary parent of residence my daughter and I couldn’t be happier. She always answered my calls, emails and was on time. Both parents were found to be fit by the judge yet a change of custody was still granted in my favor.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my attorney Ron Graziano, when it came down to understanding and knowing his area of expertise there is no doubt that this Law Firm is everything plus that. Ron was very easy to talk with and clearly knew how to approach my case. I went to court for a child support/custody situation and it could not have worked out more satisfying for me if i had not had the Graziano & Flynn firm representing me in the most professional and knowledgeable way possible. I did not have to speak with the Judge not one time, i was represented absolutely well by my attorney Ron, he’s the best and i will continue to use him, if need be; Thank you so much.
