Montgomery County Property Division Attorney
Property Division Lawyer in Silver Spring
One of the most hotly contested areas in many divorces is property division. Who gets the house? What will happen to the finances? How will we split up our debts? These are all valid questions that must be answered when you are going through your divorce. Maryland is an “equitable distribution” state. This differs from “community property” states in which property is usually split equally down the middle. In an equitable distribution state, the court does not necessarily have to divide your debts and assets equally.
