THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED FOR A FAIR SETTLEMENT

Dividing property and debt can often become an extremely combative matter in a divorce. Assets and debts are shared in our state because Washington is considered a “community property state.” Making sure your assets and debts are distributed fairly can hinge on the quality of your legal counsel, so choose your attorney wisely.

◀   Simply fill out the form (or call) to schedule your consultation.

YOU DESERVE FAIR AND EQUITABLE DIVISION

Here are a couple things to keep in mind:

  • Although the court often focuses on community property, all assets and debts — both separate and community — are considered when the court determines a “fair and equitable” division.
  • A “fair and equitable” division of assets and liabilities is not necessarily an equal 50/50 division.

Division of assets proceedings can go off the rails, if your attorney doesn’t work hard to help uncover any hidden assets that your spouse may have. Other times, protecting your interests may relate to alimony, also called spousal maintenance.

Our experienced lawyers at Helland Law Group will help you protect your financial interest during a divorce.
 

SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE IN WASHINGTON STATE

You may have given up career opportunities either to raise children or because of some other unforeseen event. Divorce and financial independence could be especially frightening for you if you have always relied on a spouse for financial support.

Washington has spousal maintenance that allows one spouse to receive financial support from the other spouse. Spousal maintenance in Washington is a discretionary act by the court. The length and duration of any financial support awarded is determined on a case-by-case basis. 

Our divorce attorneys can help determine if spousal maintenance is available to you and strongly advocate for you to help obtain the best transition possible.

COMPLICATED DIVISIONS OF ASSETS AND DEBTS

Sometimes your unique financial position makes dividing assets and debts extremely complex. For example, the valuation of the following require extensive discovery and experts to assess values:

  • Businesses
  • Real property
  • Pensions
  • Financial holdings

Our Tacoma-based divorce attorneys have the fortitude, resources, and experience to effectively and aggressively represent you and protect the assets that you have worked hard to earn.

The division of assets and debts in a divorce can be extremely contentious. Make sure you have a compassionate and effective advocate on your side.
