Protecting Your Assets During and After a Divorce
For many couples, division of property at the time of divorce can become one of the most contentious issues. Whether you entered into the marriage with significant earnings and possessions, you are the sole breadwinner or a dependent spouse concerned about your security after divorce, you have the right to protect your assets. At The Law Office of Rita Ros-Planas, I provide experienced and strategic advocacy to secure the financial security of my client and ensure equitable distribution of assets at the time of divorce.
For dependable advocacy you can trust to achieve results, call me directly at 757-491-1331 or contact me by e-mail to schedule an initial consultation.
My clients range from newlyweds without a significant amount of property to high-asset and complex divorce cases. Many of my clients have stock options, business interests, or multiple real estate properties that can make the division of assets more complicated.
At the time of property division, it is important to protect your rights to:
- Retirement accounts
- Home and vacation home real estate
- Stock options
- Bonds
- Business investments
- IRAs
- Pension plans
Protecting your rights in property disputes
While some accounts are easy to separate, disputes may arise over personal items including furniture, paintings, rugs or jewelry. As your attorney, I will take the time to assess your assets and liabilities, review the property you wish to take from the marriage, and aggressively assert those interests through negotiations or in court. With my extensive experience, I can usually predict how a court will rule on a certain issue. This allows me to effectively articulate your interests, negotiate with other parties, and ensure that you have a clear understanding of your rights and potential obligations throughout the process.
