Nassau County Marital Property Attorney

In New York, the divorce process has become less focused on pointing fingers ever since the no-fault divorce legislation passed. This law allows couples to get divorced without assigning blame for the end of the marriage. A greater emphasis is now placed on ensuring marital assets are divided equitably between the divorcing couple.

I am family law attorney Barton R. Resnicoff offering more than thirty years of experience handling asset division for complex divorces. My focus extends beyond custody and alimony issues in high-asset divorces. I apply my accounting and business law skills to determine the valuation of business and real estate property. Contact my law firm today to schedule a consultation in Great Neck, New York.

Handling Asset Division in Complex Divorces

In New York, assets involved in a divorce are considered marital property unless proven otherwise. I devote substantial resources working with forensic accountants to trace how assets were handled during a marriage. For example, any real estate property you bought together will be divided equitably between you and your estranged spouse. This does not necessarily mean a 50/50 split. If your estranged spouse maintains the family home, I will advocate for you to keep property equaling the same value.

High-net-worth divorces are fact specific. I will seek to uncover any hidden assets and property you owned separately from your estranged spouse. For example, if you owned a business before getting married, I will protect your business assets from your spouse.

I work with forensic accountants to effectively trace how assets were handled during the marriage. Any individual assets, including gifts or inheritance commingled with the marital estate, will be subject to an equitable distribution. I offer a sound judgment and rational approach to overcome any emotional barriers in complex divorces.
