Property Settlement

Providence Divorce Settlement/Property Division Lawyers

Determining what is marital property and what is non-marital property can be a complex and lengthy process in a divorce settlement. It can strain relationships between a divorcing husband and wife. At Kaplan & Associates Inc. in Providence, Rhode Island, we take a thorough and detail-oriented approach to ensure that our client receives their fair share of assets and finances.

While a prenuptial agreement can help resolve property and money division disputes quicker, we have the experience to successfully resolve these types of divorce settlement cases. Both parties have to be completely forthcoming in disclosing the assets they have, whether they were acquired during the marriage or prior to it.

Non-marital property such as a bank account in the name of one spouse can easily become marital property. A spouse depositing a small amount of money into the account essentially “spoils” the non-marital property status and it becomes shared assets subject to division. Other types of marital and non-marital property can include a vacation home, investment accounts, or a 401k.

At Kaplan & Associates Inc., we aggressively represent our clients in this complicated part of divorce proceedings. You are entitled to an equal division of the marital property and we will bring our experience and our network of experts (including forensic accountants) to help you. If something is found after the agreement has been finalized, we will go back to court and hold your ex-spouse responsible for hiding the asset.
