Property Division in Connecticut
When it comes to property division, Connecticut follows the rule of equitable division. This means that property is to be divided between divorced couples in a way that is fair and equitable. It is important to keep in mind that “equitable” is not synonymous with “equal,” and it is not enough to simply present a detailed accounting of the marital estate. You must also create a compelling narrative that argues for the fairness of your point of view.
Difficult Property Valuations Made Clear And Comprehensible
One of the greatest obstacles to ensuring an equitable distribution of property is getting an accurate valuation of ongoing business enterprises and other assets that cannot be simply purchased from a store. We have extensive experience reviewing valuations of all types of assets, including:
- Real estate
- Entertainment royalties and residuals
- Executive compensation and severance packages
- Family businesses
- Family trusts
- Hedge fund interest
- Private equity holdings
We have previously represented people with significant assets, whether individuals or their spouses, from midlevel managers to senior partners in legal and accounting firms, as well as asset managers, business owners, corporate executives, entertainment producers and directors, fashion designers, and television and sports personalities.
