Spousal Support/Marital Property Division

Fayetteville Marital Property Division and Divorce Lawyer

While the process of determining spousal support and division of marital assets can be complex, the Hatley Law Firm in Fayetteville, North Carolina has experience in both mediating and litigating these cases. You are entitled to your fair share of financial support and assets following the finalization of your divorce. We have the experience at the negotiation table and in the courtroom to help you.

At the Hatley Law Firm, we have resolved property division and spousal support cases as part of divorce proceedings out of court and in court. Arriving at a comprehensive agreement may involve several steps. Personal property, real estate, and small business interests must be evaluated and appraised. If any assets are hidden, we will conduct a detailed search. Due to our proximity with Fort Bragg, we also deal with division of military pensions in divorce cases.

If a claim is filed in court, a temporary determination is made on support based on the expenses and needs of the dependent spouse. Litigating spousal support or division of marital property assets does not mean you have to disregard your day-to-day financial needs and place them on hold pending resolution.

In determining your financial future and what assets you will take following your divorce, you want a certain level of control. That is where mediation is most effective. Putting those important decisions in the hands of a judge in a courtroom setting that may be contentious takes that control away from you and puts the outcome in question.

However, if mediation fails, divorce attorney Angela Hatley has the experience in litigating these matters. She is no stranger in North Carolina county courthouses and is there on a day-to-day basis. Your financial future is at stake and she will advocate for you and your rights.
