Working Toward Fair Property Settlements
Pennsylvania is an equitable distribution state, which means that assets and debts will be divided according to what the court feels is fair. This could be a 50/50 split, or it could be something different. Our attorneys will work to locate and value all assets, including:
- Real property, such as homes and rental properties
- Stocks
- Retirement plans, pensions and 401(k)s
- Business property
- Personal items, such as cars and furniture
- Hidden assets
Mediation as an Alternative
Like child custody and child support, property division issues can be decided in negotiations between the spouses. Judge's decisions are often unpredictable, but mediation gives the couple control of the outcome. We are available to facilitate mediation if you and your spouse are interested in working issues out cooperatively. If not, we are always prepared to assert your rights in court.
