PROPERTY DIVISION

Some couples enter into a marriage with nothing and build wealth together. In other situations, one person might have amassed real property prior to the wedding. In Illinois, the courts will make sure that in case of a marital dissolution, the couple with split the property fairly no matter what happened before the marriage. With that in mind, you need an attorney to help you present your best case as to what is fair to you, taking into account your contributions to the marriage and other factors including:

• How long you were married
• Children and their needs
• Any prenuptial or post-nuptial agreements
• The status of each spouse
• Potential future income
• Debt incurred during the marriage

These are just some of the issues that you must consider when looking at how to divide property post-divorce. At the Law Office of Raleigh D. Kalbfleisch, we can help you reach an equitable division of property between you and your former spouse. It will be fair to you both, and account for the needs of any children involved. We will strive to help you reach an agreement prior to a judge making a decision regarding the division of property, something that is likely to be beneficial to you. However, should a conflict arise, we will be strong advocates for your position. We want to see you get what you deserve.
