White Plains, Westchester and Putnam County, New York Equitable Distribution Attorneys

New York is an equitable distribution state. Whose name appears on the title is not the important factor. Often issues arise concerning property that was acquired prior to the marriage. This property is considered separate; however, any increased value in the property itself may be considered a marital asset.

Another problem our office frequently encounters is hidden assets. We have seen spouses divert funds. Our divorce lawyers will subpoena financial records and examine them in-depth to find hidden assets and seek a court order to value the assets for equitable distribution.

Pensions, 401(k)'s, and IRA's are among the types of property subject to division. Typically, a pension will be divided according to the number of years in the marriage by the number of the years in the pension and that number is then divided equitably.

If your case cannot be settled amicably, we have extensive experience in trials and appeals. Our trial attorneys will pursue solutions to your problems vigorously, seeking a resolution that is to your satisfaction. For more information on case results, see our representative cases.
