Identifying & Valuing Marital Property
The property involved in the marital estate can be quite complex after a lengthy marriage or one involving significant assets. Difficult questions can arise about whether a particular asset is marital or separate property. Such complicated assets include all or part of a pension plan, an interest in a business, appreciation of assets, employee stock options, and more. Also, separate property can become marital property, and vice versa, depending upon how it is treated by the parties.
Equally important to properly identifying marital property is giving it an appropriate value so the court can make an equitable distribution. As an attorney who specializes in divorces involving high-net-worth individuals and couples, David L. Hirschberg is an expert in locating assets and debts, determining their character as marital or separate property, and determining the appropriate value. The Law Offices of David L. Hirschberg will strive to create a compelling case that represents your interests, whether working with your spouse in mediation or litigating the matter in court.

How Courts Decide on an Equitable Distribution of Marital Property
When called upon to divide the property in a divorce, the court looks at several factors to decide what kind of property division would be fair to both parties.
In making this determination, the judge looks at several factors, including:
- The duration of the marriage
- Each party’s finances
- Each person’s contributions to the marriage
- Whether one spouse contributed to the career advancement or education of the other
- Whether one spouse interrupted a career or education to manage the home or raise the children
- Whether one spouse intentionally tried to dissipate marital assets after the divorce was filed or anytime in the two years before the start of the divorce
