My Hometown Lawyers | Spotlighting Family Attorneys in 33139 | Miami, FL
Allens and Associates | Serving South Florida
Our law firm has been handling family cases just like yours for decades.
From this lawyer: As you dismantle your married life, you'll need to go through the difficult process of deciding how to divide the property you've acquired during your marriage. This division process can be worked out several ways, including mediation, counseling and letting a judge decide. Even after divorce, families continue to be families, especially when there are children involved. Because litigation can be hostile, mediation may be a good chance for the couple to develop a way of interacting with each other that will be useful down the road. |
This local legal business card was created by the team at My Hometown Lawyers. We spotlight one family law firm per zip code (in this case - the 33139 area) and laws can vary from state to state. If a divorce involves valuing business assets, such as a medical practice or family business, a lawyer who specializes in these matters if recommended.
If you are unsure of what the other party has as far as assets go, consider the process of discovery - in which your lawyer can insist upon answers and documentation relating to assets. Under the rules of discovery, answers have to be given under oath and all relevant documents must be produced.
Besides property you can see and touch, some examples of assets would include:
- 401ks
- Pensions
- Stock options
- Insurance policies
