DIVISION OF MARITAL ASSETS

Since divorce is a stressful time that creates a great of deal of uncertainty about the future, the attorneys at the Calslaw will take the time needed to ensure you’re informed about the financial consequences involved. We also explain how any outstanding debt on credit cards or loans figure into the division of marital assets, and what can be done to protect you from being saddled with debt that isn’t truly yours.

In the State of Maryland, with a few exceptions, assets acquired during the course of a marriage are subject to an “equitable division” upon divorce. This includes assets such as equity in a home, pension funds, bank accounts, automobiles, investment portfolios, and even baseball memorabilia collections, irrespective of whose name the asset is in.  It is important to note that “equitable” does not mean “equal”, but not every attorney understands this fine distinction.  

Our attorneys protect the financial and legal interests of clients in divorce proceedings and negotiations involving the division of marital assets.

We help our clients prepare for life during and after divorce. Protect your financial and legal interests today and tomorrow – contact us today to learn how we can help you.
