Serving Union and Mecklenburg Counties including Weddington and Matthews
Property division is a large part of separating from your spouse. You may have spent years accumulating assets, debts and property. All of those things need to be divided when you are going through a divorce. I have been practicing law for approximately 20 years. My legal background is in many different practice areas. My diversity means that my clients benefit from my experience. Family law intersects with so many different legal areas and I have the experience to anticipate how a decision today will affect your future.

North Carolina presumes that marital property will be divided 50/50. The court will, however, deviate from this presumption if the circumstances warrant. Some factors the court considers when deciding to deviate include:
- A spouse's inability to replenish assets: This applies when a spouse left a career to care for children or further the other spouse's career and is unable to immediately earn an income.
- Adultery: Infidelity may cause the court to award more property to the innocent spouse.
- Nonmarital assets or separate property: A court may deviate and award a spouse more property if the other spouse has significant nonmarital assets, like an inheritance.
The marital debts are also divided equally, unless the court is persuaded otherwise.
