A cautionary tale about divorce and property division

A lot can change after a divorce is "final," even many of the not-so-final terms of the divorce itself. Child custody and visitation agreements can be modified if circumstances warrant and the change will be in the best interest of the children. Alimony and child support payments can also be increased or decreased in appropriate circumstances.

There is one aspect of divorce, however, that spouses almost never get a second chance to get right. We're talking about property division, which Virginia courts and divorce lawyers also call the equitable distribution of marital assets and debt.

Dennis Quaid's wife asks for assets to be excluded from division

While many Virginians may think that celebrity divorces are going to be extremely different from a normal divorce, celebrities have many of the same concerns that everyone else in Richmond has when ending a marriage. One thing they may worry about is how the marital property will be divided. While Virginia courts try to divide property equitably between the spouses, it is a very complex and difficult process. In order to protect an individual's interest in the marital property, it is vital to work with a strong divorce attorney.

It seems that Dennis Quaid's soon-to-be third ex-wife and her attorney are working hard to ensure that the courts are giving her a fair share of the couple's property in their upcoming divorce. The woman has requested that the money and assets that she had before her 2004 marriage to the movie star be kept separate from the marital property and not considered when the court starts to divide their property.

I thought we had more money! Discovering hidden assets in a divorce

You have decided to get a divorce and you suspect your soon-to-be-ex-husband or -wife has hidden some money from your joint accounts or has transferred some of your Virginia property to someone else. What do you do? Luckily, an experienced family law attorney will help you uncover these hidden assets in order to ensure you receive an equitable division of your marital assets.

Finding or tracking down missing real estate may actually be much easier than it sounds, since all real estate transactions must be written down. Your divorce attorney can go to the local Richmond government and see whether any of your real estate has been transferred to someone else. He or she can then present that as evidence that your spouse is trying to prevent an equitable distribution in the divorce settlement.

Be ready for your divorce: preparations and things to think about

You and your spouse have decided to get a divorce, and while you know that you will most likely appear before a Virginia family court judge, you may not know how to best prepare for the divorce proceedings and settlement negotiations.

Divorce can be a very trying time. Not only are you ending an important relationship, but you must also consider who will have custody of the children and how much the other spouse will pay in child support, how you want to divide marital property, and whether you or your spouse is eligible to receive alimony.
