•  PROPERTY DIVISION  •

 
Property division often is a challenge in a marital dissolution or legal separation. When income and assets are substantial, arriving at a settlement often requires financial savvy and strong negotiation skills – especially when accumulated over a lengthy marriage. When the income and assets are less substantial it is equally important that you are well represented.
 
The attorneys and staff at KIRK & SIMAS recognize the importance in advocating for clients who need to ensure all assets are accounted for and properly characterized. You can depend on our legal team for thorough investigation and case building. We work with you to help you understand the nuances of property division and to fight for your fair share.
 
Whether you are concerned with the validity of a prenuptial agreement, the disposition of property received by inheritance, or the possibility your spouse has undisclosed or "hidden" assets, our attorneys are devoted to ensuring all assets are accounted for and properly characterized as community or separate property. At KIRK & SIMAS you not only have the resources of an experienced Family Law department, you also have the benefit of experienced attorneys on both our Business and Real Estate and Civil Litigation teams. Our departments work closely together to provide you the expertise you require to represent your personal and professional property concerns.
