Glen Burnie Asset Division Attorney

Protecting Your Assets in Divorce

In Maryland, besides a few exceptions, income earned and assets acquired during a marriage are considered marital property and subject to equitable division at divorce. Equitable division does not necessarily mean an even split, but a fair allocation of assets and debts based on the complete circumstances involved in each individual case. The specifics of the asset distribution may be agreed between the parties directly and ratified by the court in an uncontested divorce. Where the parties involved cannot resolve the matter, the court will determine the asset division for them. A Glen Burnie divorce lawyer can represent you when your financial security is at stake, in negotiations or in court.
