Insightful Property Division Guidance
Our knowledge of Ohio guidelines, combined with our experience in Lorain County-area courtrooms, allows us to offer the insightful advice you need to create realistic goals regarding the division of property and the division of debts.
To help you pursue the most favorable settlement or judgment possible, we offer advice on a wide range of issues, including:
- Division of assets and property equalization
- Division of a business
- Premarital property ownership
- Separate property qualifications
- Joint and separate debt
- Division of pensions and investments
To help you protect assets you brought into the marriage, we will help you trace the ownership history of these items and funds to before the marriage. This step can help you protect any family inheritances, real estate or valuable items purchased before the marriage from unnecessary division.
