If you’re considering divorce and feeling overwhelmed by the complexities that come with it, you’re not alone. The process can be daunting, especially when dividing assets and securing a fair outcome. At Virginia Family Law Center, P.C., we understand the emotional weight you’re carrying, and are here to help you make sense of it all. Our goal is to guide you through the property division process with professionalism, authority, and compassion, addressing your concerns every step of the way.
In Virginia, property division follows the principle of equitable distribution. Unlike community property states where assets are split 50/50, equitable distribution means that marital assets are divided fairly and justly, which does not always equate to an equal division.
Marital property encompasses all assets obtained throughout the duration of the marriage. This includes real estate, vehicles, income, and retirement accounts. However, exceptions exist for inheritances or gifts designated explicitly to one spouse. Separate property, acquired before marriage or post-separation, is generally excluded unless commingled with marital assets.
Property division can be achieved through various legal processes:
