Complex Property Division Attorneys in Northern Virginia

The Most Challenging Part of a High-Asset Divorce

Divorce is challenging in part because of the wide range of issues that need to be addressed simultaneously. Determining child custody and visitation arrangements can be emotionally draining, regardless of the value of the marital estate. In high-asset divorce cases, however, the issue that tends to present the most challenges is property division.

Do you or your spouse have businesses or business interests, real estate holdings in Virginia or other states, large bank and investment accounts, high-end pensions and retirement accounts, antique collections or other similarly valuable assets? Choose a lawyer who understands the unique issues that arise when dealing with large marital estates and knows how to overcome them while pursuing an outcome that is in your best interest.

At HALE BALL MURPHY, PLC in northern Virginia, you will find lawyers with more than 30 years of experience handling cases like yours. We are prepared to take the necessary action to protect your share of the marital estate.

Nothing Is By the Book

Having handled so many diverse cases involving nearly all imaginable assets, we understand that there is no such thing as resolving a complex property division case by the book. Creativity must always be employed to reach a positive outcome. Is the collection of classic cars the asset that is the most important to preserve? Should a deal be negotiated in order to allow your spouse access to other pieces of property in order to keep the collection intact? Is a quiet title action needed? We make certain that we spend time upfront determining what assets are the most important. Then we create a plan to protect them.

We will carefully guide you through the four steps of property division: identification of assets and debts, classification, valuation, and division of assets and debts in a fair and just manner.
