Most couples have some kind of joint property, be it real estate, cars, boats, household items, bank accounts or investments. Dividing up these joint assets can be a difficult and time-consuming process. If your marriage was a legal one, Massachusetts has laws governing how you do this, but you are able to create a settlement as long as it is fair. You may also have joint debts, or debts that you feel jointly responsible for even though they may be in one person’s name.

Is Your Spouse Hiding Assets?
Even with all the procedures in place to help you learn about your spouse’s finances, you may suspect that your spouse is not being completely forthcoming with you. Don’t ignore your concerns. Call Attorney Irwin M. Pollack! He’s always on the alert with warning signs like the value of assets looking lower than you may remember, income looking oddly low, or any spouse reluctant to share information with you.
When a couple has little or no marital property, no children and no disagreement on alimony, their divorce usually goes very quickly. Most couples, however, have numerous issues to work out during the divorce process. These issues may involve children or significant marital property: personal property, real estate, a family business, large or concealed debts, trusts, real property in other states, joint and separate accounts, investments, insurance, pensions and other assets. In any divorce, especially one involving complex property matters, an experienced family law attorney can offer valuable guidance and advocacy.
Attorney Irwin M. Pollack and the divorce lawyers and family law attorneys from the Massachusetts Family Law Group pride themselves on their aggressive advocacy for clients and corresponding track record of success.
