Compassionate Georgia Attorneys For Asset Division In A Divorce

Last updated on April 25, 2025

Going through a divorce is tough. Dividing what you and your spouse own can be even tougher. At Bivek Brubaker & Prescott LLC, we know how it is. We are a family law firm based in Marietta and serving clients throughout Georgia.

Founded in 2010, we focus on divorce and family law with a holistic approach. We take a warm, direct and confident approach to ensure your interests have legal protection during this difficult time.

Our team has handled a broad spectrum of assets, including:

  • Retirement accounts (401(k)s, IRAs, Roth IRAs)
  • Investment portfolios
  • Bank accounts

We frequently work with clients in high-asset divorces. With us, you will work directly with a partner attorney, ensuring personalized attention and cost-efficient solutions.

Clearing Up Common Misconceptions About Asset Division

Georgia is an equitable division state. This means that courts divide marital property fairly, but it does not always mean a 50/50 split. Separate property in divorce remains with its owner.

Many people think that assets in their name are theirs automatically in a divorce. This is not necessarily true. Under the laws of equitable division in Georgia, marital assets subject to equitable distribution include assets acquired during the marriage. It does not matter whose name is on the title. This is especially important in Georgia divorces involving real properties, cars, business valuation in a divorce and hidden assets in a divorce.

Factors Affecting Asset Division

Several factors affect asset division in a divorce. These factors help the court decide what is fair and equitable. Criteria may include:

  • When assets were acquired
  • The length of a marriage
  • Contributions of each spouse
  • Economic circumstances of each party

By understanding these factors, we can help you develop a strong case for a fair and equitable distribution of your property. We protect your rights and work toward a resolution that meets your needs. When dividing assets in divorce, you can rely on both our tenacity and our empathy.
