Divorce

Property Division in a Divorce

People in the midst of a divorce frequently need an objective advisor and advocate to guard their interests. In particular, property matters can sometimes take a back seat to the emotional issues, especially if the divorce is contentious. At our Grand Rapids, Michigan, law firm, our attorneys are experienced with protecting clients’ financial position.

Our focus at Dilley Haney, P.C., is on the division of assets during divorce. We also undertake all other issues, such as support, custody and visitation. We also draft prenuptial agreements that help prevent conflict in the event the marriage ends. In all matters related to divorce and family law, we focus on protecting our clients’ interests.

Using our litigation experience to advocate for clients during property division, support calculations and custody determinations

When necessary, we resolve disputes over property and other issues in court, using our years of litigation experience to work toward a resolution. Fred Dilley’s experience as a mediator provides us with the knowledge to prepare clients for mediation sessions involving property matters. Whether the matter is tried, mediated or settled, we work hard to protect our clients’ interests.

As part of the property division process, we undertake or arrange for:

• Appraisal of personal property, such as antiques or jewelry
• Appraisal of real estate
• Valuation of a business
• Valuation of retirement funds, investment funds and stock options
• Analysis of marital property as opposed to separate property

We hire appraisers, business valuation specialists, forensic economists and other experts who can assist with the valuation and division of property.
