The Lawyer's Role in Asset Division

What does an Asset Division Lawyer Do?

The lawyer’s role in asset division is to ensure all assets are accounted for and allocated in a manner which helps each client secure immediate needs and long term goals. 

Importance of Asset Division in a Divorce

Asset division is crucial in a divorce as it determines how property, investments, and debts are distributed, directly impacting each party’s financial future. A thorough division helps ensure financial stability, limits future disputes, and protects your long-term interests.

Equitable Distribution vs. Community Property States

In equitable distribution states, assets and debts are divided fairly but not necessarily equally, based on factors like income, contributions, and future needs. In community property states, marital assets and debts are typically split 50/50, regardless of individual circumstances. Georgia follows equitable distribution, meaning the court aims for a fair division rather than an automatic equal split.

Marital vs. Separate Property

In Georgia, marital property includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on them, and is subject to equitable division in a divorce. Separate property refers to assets owned before the marriage, inheritances, or gifts received individually, which typically remain with the original owner. However, if separate property is commingled with marital assets, it may become subject to division. At Tannen Law Group, we help you identify and protect what rightfully belongs to you.
