Stamford, Connecticut, Martial Property Division Lawyer
When the dust settles, one of the ways you will judge the success of your divorce will be the financial effects of the property settlement. Protecting your separate property and obtaining a fair division of marital property can spell the difference between having a secure financial future and taking a serious financial hit.
At the Law Office of Yvette P. Fallon, a divorce practice in Stamford, Connecticut, many of the divorces we handle involve high-net worth individuals with significant assets. We produce bulletproof financial affidavits that meet Connecticut's disclosure requirements. We are skilled in handling complex asset distribution issues concerning business ownership, stock options, family and personal trusts, deferred compensation and retirement assets, such as pensions, 401(k) plans and other retirement savings accounts.
In deciding what is included in the marital pool of assets and how those assets will be divided, Connecticut courts consider a number of factors, including:
- The age of the parties
- Their health
- Each person's current income
- Their earning capacity
While the goal of any marital property settlement agreement is to achieve an equitable distribution of assets, equitable does not necessarily mean fifty-fifty. In addition, the tax implications of the distribution can make a big difference in the value of the assets you receive.
