Ohio Attorney Assists with Equitable Property Distribution

Experienced divorce lawyer represents your rights in the Strongsville area

In general, assets acquired and liabilities incurred during the marriage are considered marital property, and when couples divorce or separate, those assets are subject to equitable distribution. Under this standard, when couples cannot reach an agreement on dividing their assets, courts will divide marital property in a manner that is fair and equitable, though not necessarily equal. At Karen J. Cameratta Co. LPA, I represent clients in the Strongsville area and Cuyahoga County and Medina County in Ohio to ensure that their rights are upheld and their marital property and debt are divided equitably so that a breakup does not disadvantage them financially.

Detail-oriented advocate protects your assets

Before the actual distribution of marital property can happen, assets must be valuated and classified as either marital or separate. Marital property comprises assets acquired during the marriage and available for distribution; separate property consists of assets acquired prior to the marriage and exempt from division. I have the necessary familiarity with Ohio’s equitable distribution laws to distinguish property as either marital or separate. I also have the skill to trace the commingling of separate assets with marital assets, prevent unfair distribution and ensure that no assets or debts are overlooked in the final accounting.

Marital property may include anything you have acquired during the marriage, such as:

  • The marital home and vacation homes
  • Stocks and bonds
  • Automobiles
  • Bank accounts
  • Investment accounts
  • Home furnishings
  • Timeshares
  • Retirement funds
  • Pensions and annuities
  • Businesses

Courts will base property division determinations on a number of factors, which may include the financial situation and earning power of each spouse, the degree to which each spouse contributed to the acquisition of marital property, and the future needs and liabilities of each spouse. I will ensure the court has all the information it needs to fairly divide your assets.

Responsive divorce counselor pursues favorable property division results

At Karen J. Cameratta Co. LPA, I strive to convert an otherwise stressful and contentious matter into a positive resolution. My experience has equipped me to handle negotiation in property division matters whenever appropriate, affording you greater control over the outcome. But experience has shown me that property division is often one of the most contentious issues in a divorce, and when you and your ex-spouse are unable to agree on dividing your assets, I am fully prepared to advocate for your rights in court.
