Maryland Marital Property Distribution
Property division is a highly contentious part of divorce. People can become fixated on getting their "fair share" of the marital estate, and often use this as a weapon against their soon to be ex-spouse.
If you are contemplating divorce or are embroiled in a divorce dispute, the family law attorneys at Fait, Wise & DiLima, LLP can guide you through the process and help you understand how Maryland's property division statutes can affect your divorce.
Equitable Distribution in Maryland Divorce
Contrary to popular belief, equitable distribution does not always result in an "equal" division of the marital estate. Maryland courts consider a variety of factors in awarding an "equitable share" of the marital estate to each party. We can explain the factors the court may consider in dividing your estate, including each spouse's financial needs, their contributions to the estate, and their actions in causing the break up, among others, and advise you on how these factors may affect your case.
For more than 20 years, Fait, Wise & DiLima, LLP has represented divorcing couples facing property division issues. Whether you have a modest marital estate or tens of millions of dollars in assets, our attorneys can provide prudent advice to help you reach the best possible resolution for your particular case.
