Property Division
Regarding the division of property and debt in a divorce, Missouri is an "equitable distribution" state. This means property and debt is distributed in an "equitable" fashion by the court, unless both parties have agreed to distribute the assets and liabilities in a separate agreement.
Equitable does not mean equal. Equitable means what is fair and reasonable by the court. An experienced divorce lawyer will be able to help ensure all aspects of the family assets are considered including:
- family home
- investment properties and other real estate holdings
- retirement plans, including pensions
- family-owned businesses
The division of property in a divorce is intimately connected to the assets and liabilities of the marriage. Establishing which assets and liabilities are marital in nature is the first step in this process. The divorce lawyers at Suddarth & Koor, LLC will meet with you to discuss how the divorce process in Missouri may apply to your specific family situation.
We accept Visa and MasterCard.
