HOW PROPERTY DIVISION WORKS

 IN VIRGINIA

In Virginia, your assets are divided equitably. The starting line for dividing assets is not necessarily 50/50 in Virginia. Instead, the court considers several factors when dividing your assets. 


Protecting High-Value and Complex Assets

If your divorce involves complex property, such as investment portfolios, business ownership, rental or vacation properties, etc., equitable division requires extensive experience and knowledge, as well as legal strategy.


We also take steps to uncover hidden or undisclosed assets. If you suspect your spouse may be concealing property or income, we’ll use discovery tools to locate those assets.


Fighting for Financial Stability

While every divorce doesn't involve complex wealth, every client deserves financial security. We’ll help you distinguish between marital, hybrid, and separate property, advocate for equitable distribution, and educate you on what you are entitled to.
