Equitable Distribution Law Protects Your Rights, Your Family, and Your Future

In Virginia, property is divided according to equitable distribution laws, meaning that property is divided in a manner that is deemed to be fair — not necessarily equal. Our attorneys take full inventory of all marital property and determine the value of the property through appraisals and other means to ensure property distribution is in fact fair and equitable. We ensure that all assets and liabilities are accounted for, including:

  • 1

    Real estate, such as the marital home or vacation properties

  • 2

    Pension or retirement plans, such as 401(k)s or IRAs

  • 3

    Bank accounts, such as checking, savings, mutual funds or CDs

  • 4

    Vehicles, such as cars, trucks, motor homes and recreational vehicles

  • 5

    Personal property, such as artwork, furniture or jewelry

  • 6

    Business property, such as stock options and business interests

  • 7

    Debts, such as credit card debts, personal loans, mortgage and vehicle loans

Our property division lawyers understand that you have worked hard to establish yourself financially and collect personal belongings. A divorce should not mean that you have to relinquish control of all of your property rights. Our divorce attorneys help clients obtain fair marital property agreements through negotiated property settlements or litigated verdicts. We work hard to preserve your rights and interests.
