Legacy Legal & Business Services PLC Will Protect Your Assets
Michigan’s law addresses property division issues so that judges and courts oversee them properly. Under MCL 552.19, a judge has the authority to restore real and personal property to the parties from the marital estate as they “deem just and reasonable.” As such, your entire estate is subject to division.
The Kent County property division lawyer at Legacy Legal & Business Services PLC has helped past clients navigate issues related to:
- Business valuations
- Financial assets
- Marital property
- Mediation
- Modifications
- Negative equity issues
- Personal property
- Qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs)
- Retirement evaluations
- Separate property
- Other property division issues
Michigan Courts Consider Specific Factors When Dividing Marital Property
Property division follows equitable distribution principles in Michigan. This process means the court divides property fairly and not equally. Judges will consider several factors when determining an equitable distribution, including:
- Age and health status
- Custody arrangements
- Individual spousal contributions
- Individual spousal earning capacity
- Marital lifestyle established
- Tax consequences
- Years married
- Any unusual issues impacting the division
High-net-worth divorces often present unique challenges, such as complex asset valuations. We also understand that some divorces involve hidden assets, a massive violation under MCL 552.22. Regardless of your situation, our founding attorney, Margaret Webb, will help you obtain the resolution you deserve under Michigan law.
