Thorough Guidance For Property Division In Arizona

Property division is often one of the most contentious issues in an Arizona divorce or legal separation. But what constitutes marital property, and how are assets divided? At Glickstein Law, PLLC, I provide personalized guidance to help you achieve a fair division of assets as well as debts.

With more than 15 years of legal experience, I will work closely with you to help you meet your objectives. As a property division attorney, I will take the time to listen to your concerns and provide you with straightforward and honest advice. I work with clients from all walks of life, and my door is open to all ages and income levels.

Factors Impacting Property Division In Arizona

Since Arizona is a community property state, marital property is generally divided equally between spouses. This is different from equitable distribution states, where asset and debt division is based on fairness.

The following factors impact how property is divided in an Arizona divorce.

  • What are considered marital assets and debts
  • What assets and debts are considered separate property
  • The length of the marriage
  • The income and earning potential of each spouse
  •  The contributions of each spouse to the acquisition of marital property

Dividing complex assets like businesses, real estate and retirement accounts can be particularly challenging. These assets often require specialized knowledge and expertise to value and divide, which is why I work with forensic accountants, business valuation experts and appraisers. A QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) may be necessary to divide retirement accounts.

Preparing For The Property Division Process

Preparing for the property division process can be overwhelming, but with the right guidance from a family law advocate, you can seek a fair division of assets. To get started, you can look into the following tactics:

  • Gather all relevant documents, including bank statements, tax returns, investment accounts and other financial accounts.
  • Identify and value all marital and separate property.
  • Consider hiring experts to help value complex assets.
  • Develop a strategy for dividing property in a way that meets your needs and goals.

As your property division attorney, I will help you identify and value property, negotiate with your spouse, learn the tax consequences of property division and ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process. I can also help you understand how spousal maintenance, prenuptial agreements and high-asset divorce can impact your case.
