Equitable Distribution Lawyer in Bronx, NY

Dividing property during divorce can feel overwhelming. From your family home to retirement accounts, figuring out who gets what can shape your financial future for years to come. New York’s equitable distribution laws are designed to split marital property fairly, but fair doesn’t always mean equal—and that’s where having the right guidance matters.

Understanding Equitable Distribution in New York

When you go through a divorce in New York, the court looks at what’s fair, not just a straight 50-50 split. Judges consider many details about your marriage and both spouses’ situations. Knowing the details of New York matrimonial law is key to protecting your interests and making sure nothing gets missed.

What Counts as Marital Property

• Homes and real estate bought during marriage
• Retirement accounts and pensions
• Business interests and investments
• Cars and personal property
• Joint bank accounts and debts

At Adon & Associates, we help clients all over the Bronx identify and value every marital asset. Knowing exactly what’s included in the property division is the first step to making sure you get your fair share.

Separate vs Marital Property

Not everything gets split in a divorce. Some property stays with its original owner. Understanding the difference between separate and marital property can help you avoid headaches and disputes down the road.

Common Types of Separate Property

• Assets owned before marriage
• Inheritances and gifts
• Personal injury settlements
• Property listed as separate in prenups

We see a lot of couples in neighborhoods from Morris Park to Kingsbridge with questions about mixed property—assets that started as separate but got combined during marriage. We know how to sort out these tricky situations and protect what’s yours.

Factors Courts Consider in Property Division

Bronx courts look at a lot of details when deciding how to split property. They consider income, health, age, length of marriage, who will live with the children, and each person’s future earning ability. We make sure the court has a clear picture of your situation so you’re treated fairly.

Protecting Business Assets in Divorce

If you own a business, property division can get complicated fast. Whether you run a small shop in Parkchester or a larger company, protecting your business interests takes careful planning. Our experience with real estate transactions and asset protection strategies means we know how to value and defend your business assets the right way.

Negotiating Fair Property Settlements

Most couples want to settle property division out of court. This gives you more control and usually saves time and money. We help you negotiate agreements that protect your rights and keep things as smooth as possible, so you can move forward with confidence.
