We help to divide property during divorce

During the dissolution of marriage, the property that the spouses acquired together is divided in half, taking into account related factors, such as the presence of children and the financial situation of the parties. However, at the same time, judicial practice often provides for division by objects, for example, an apartment goes to one of the spouses, and a dacha to the other. If the property cannot be physically divided, one of the parties receives compensation. The same applies to a joint business and initial contributions.

The exception is property transferred as a gift and personal items. Therefore, valuable items should be legally registered as gifts or registered in the name of third parties in advance, advises Vladislav Martynchuk, a lawyer, advocate, and mediator at the law firm “DE-JURE”.

If the application for the division of property is filed simultaneously with the application for the dissolution of marriage, this helps to reduce legal costs. However, this can be done after a divorce – the main thing is to consider that the statute of limitations for the division of property is three years after the divorce.

A qualified lawyer specializing in family law can help you understand all the nuances, anticipate possible risks, order an expert assessment of the value of the property, and protect your client’s rights during a divorce. And if the court’s decision does not suit the client, the lawyer files an appeal.
