Attorneys Who Are Highly Skilled In The Division Of Assets During Divorce

One of the most frustrating aspects of a divorce involves property division. New Jersey is an equitable distribution state, which means that everything – assets, property, debt – is subject to division. You must accurately determine which items are separate and which are marital in an effort to figure out how they should be divided. This can be complicated without the help of an experienced attorney.
