Property Division

Atlanta Divorce Lawyer Who Knows Property Division

When it comes to division of marital assets and debts during a divorce, it is important for couples to know their rights. Knowing your rights can help ensure that your interests are protected and that you make the best possible decisions during what can often be an emotional time. At the Atlanta, Georgia, law office of The Silver Law Firm, we are dedicated to helping our clients understand the law. We guide them through the decision-making process to make sure that their needs and goals are met.

Georgia divides marital property “equitably.” Equitable division does not always mean equal division. Courts define marital property as property acquired during the marriage, with a few exceptions. Deciding what property is marital can sometimes involve difficult analysis. At The Silver Law Firm, we help our clients protect their interests in a broad range of property including:

• The marital home
• Second homes or vacation homes
• Pensions or 401(k)s
• Savings
• Debts
• Cars and other personal property

In the absence of an agreement between you and your spouse, the court will decide which property is marital. Because we know that each client’s situation is unique, we tailor our approach to meet your needs. When a settlement with your spouse would be beneficial, we work diligently to protect your interests in negotiations and mediations. If litigation is required, we never hesitate to fight for you forcefully in the courtroom.
