Legal Aspects of Marriage and Divorce
To a large extent, two spouses become one financial entity when they marry. A husband and wife share certain legal and financial rights and responsibilities. Divorce involves the meticulous unraveling of all property that is jointly owned.
Determining the nature and extent of marital property is a fundamental task when creating a mutually acceptable property distribution settlement. Everything that you and your spouse own must be accounted for in a property division agreement, including:
- Cash
- Stocks, mutual funds and investment accounts
- Real estate: the marital home, vacation homes, investment properties
- Automobiles
- Boats and other recreational equipment
- Businesses, partnerships and closely held corporations
- Retirement accounts: IRAs and 401(k)s
- SEPs for small business owners
- Pets and horses
- Art and antiques
Debts must also be allocated during the division of assets and property settlement that will become part of the divorce decree.
High-asset clients of Berman Rosenbach, P.C., rely on our years of experience for adept handling of complex property settlement negotiations during a New Jersey divorce. Wealthy clients embroiled in divorce often need assistance with the following:

If necessary, we may recommend hiring professionals such as appraisers and forensic accountants to assist with property identification, location and valuation.
