Understanding Property Division In Washington County
When a marriage ends, all marital property must be divided equally between the two parties. Marital property is considered any property that was acquired during the time of the marriage. This includes assets such as your house, car or retirement accounts, but it also includes debts.
Qualifying For Spousal Maintenance
During a marriage, many people grow accustomed to sharing financial responsibilities and rewards. During divorce, many people worry about how they will support themselves once the marriage is over. Spousal maintenance may be awarded to one spouse to offer financial support and allow the person to maintain the style of life to which they were accustomed during the marriage. The payments and length of payments are determined based on a number of statutory factors.
