In any divorce, the division of property is complex. Long-term marriages, high net worth couples, executive stock options and family business assets can make the division of property more complex. Attorney Lisa Zuckerman offers dependable counsel and skilled representation handling complex property distribution cases and can effectively protect your rights.

A divorce involving complex asset division requires a thorough examination of property, experienced counsel and the execution of an appropriate strategy to protect your interests. While fear, loss and other emotions can confuse pragmatic legal issues, it is important to have a clear understanding of your rights and options throughout the process.

Equitable Distribution and Your Rights

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, property will be distributed between two parties based on what is termed “equitable distribution.” This means that any property accumulated during the marital dissolution process will be distributed equitably, though not necessarily equal in monetary value, depending on the needs of the parties. The court may give one spouse more or less than half of the assets depending on duration of the marriage, education, age, health, conduct of the parties during marriage and contribution to the acquisition and preservation of the assets during the marriage.
