Charlotte Property Division Attorneys
Marital property division is important in every divorce. Relative "wealth" does not matter. Answers to questions such as the following are important for every husband and wife who are separating:
- Who gets the house or will we sell the house — or homes — after the divorce?
- Who pays the mortgage after the divorce?
- What will happen to other real estate investments?
- How will we divide our retirement accounts, pensions, 401(k) plans, stocks or other assets?
- Who is responsible for credit card debts?
- What will happen to our family-owned business?
These questions must be answered in every divorce as part of negotiating a marital property settlement agreement. The answers can have long-reaching consequences as each spouse builds a new, post-divorce life.

North Carolina Rules of Equitable Distribution
Under North Carolina's divorce laws, marital property and debt are divided according to rules of "equitable distribution." In brief, equitable distribution means that marital property and debt must be divided in a way that is fair — but "fair" does not necessarily mean "equal."
A good divorce attorney knows that the rules of equitable distribution provide a lot of leeway for creative agreements regarding marital property and asset division. A good divorce lawyer also knows that property division decisions can have a tremendously positive or negative impact on a newly divorced person who is establishing a new financial life.
