Jacksonville Division of Property Lawyer
Experienced Defense in North Carolina
Other than child custody, the division of marital assets and debts can be one of the most contentious aspects of a separation and divorce. Many times there is a marital home where one or both parties had been living. Other assets to be divided might include other real estate, cars, furniture and electronics, personal property, and even pets. In today’s economy, most marriages also have debts such as mortgages, equity lines, car loans, student loans, and credit card debts. Finally, there can be the issue of retirement benefits, military benefits, and pensions.
A significant part of the process can involve identifying and separating out what is marital property subject to equitable distribution and what is the individual property of one spouse or the other. North Carolina law provides rules guiding how this determination is to be made.
Make Sure Your Interests Are Protected
The ultimate question of how marital property and debt is divided can be resolved either through negotiation and mediation or through litigation in a courtroom. Working with a qualified attorney can often smooth out this process by providing a buffer between the parties and helping to facilitate the negotiation process while at the same time protecting your rights and if necessary going to court to stand up for your side of the story.

Mr Avery and his team are great, I needed some help with a criminal matter and was looking around to find an attorney that would be absolutely truthful regarding my case and someone that wouldn’t just want to take my money. I’ve had bad experiences in the past, but Mr. Avery was on top of it and very insightful, he kept me informed on the process every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable. I felt like I was in great hands and never had to stress. Thank you Trevor and the team!- Lily G.

Very upfront honest lawyer. Tough to find that integrity now a days in a attorney. He couldn't do everything and said so upfront gave a price and even offered a deposit of much less. Referred another attorney that could do everything. For that, I give five stars. Some might think it's much but time is money and appreciate yours and your honesty. (He doesn't get paid for consultation many charge for that) Thank you. Staff was super nice. She called me immediately when I left a email. He got back exactly when he said he would and discussed options.- Christina B.
