We have extensive experience in divorces involving the distribution or division of property. There are several issues we see involving the classification of property, i.e., is something marital or separate property. Those issues generally involve either commingling or transmutation of property.

Commingling usually involves an asset brought into a marriage, such as a house, and the subsequent use of marital funds to improve the property or pay a mortgage. Transmutation involves changing the character of property from marital to separate, from separate to marital, or from being the separate property of one person to being the separate property of the other. Transmutation can be accomplished by agreement, including prenuptial or postnuptial agreements.

Other common issues involve valuation. Some property interests or assets are difficult to value. In these situations, expert testimony may be required to establish a fair market value.

Examples of property interests that are difficult to value include the following:

• Pension plans
• Stock options
• Interests in companies or businesses
• Professional practices (lawyer, doctor, accountant, engineer, etc.)
• Real estate interests
• Art and other collectibles
• Insurance policies

Regardless of the issue you face, you owe it to yourself to ensure you understand the issues and your options, and you need someone to look out for your interests. Family law attorney Jack Conway utilizes more than 30 years of experience to protect your interests and provide you with the information and advice you need to make those important decisions regarding division of property and marital assets.
