New Jersey Attorney Committed to Equitable Solutions

Paramus Divorce Lawyer Seeks To Minimize Conflict

Divorce is never easy; it can fill you with emotions of anxiety and stress. Adding to those emotions is the daunting task of division of property. We understand these emotions and the complex process of equitable distribution.
In equitable distribution states such as New Jersey, assets acquired and liabilities incurred during the marriage (subject to various exemptions), are considered marital property. Even if an asset was kept in your spouse’s name, it is still treated as marital property if acquired during the marriage. However, this does not always mean property division resulting in an even 50/50 distribution.
Kornitzer Family Law has the necessary knowledge and familiarity with New Jersey’s property division laws to ensure that you will obtain the fairest settlement.

Emphasizing Experience and Meticulous Preparation

Before the actual distribution of the property, your lawyer will need to determine what property will be distributed and its value. Equitable distribution states classify property as either “marital property,” assets acquired during the marriage and available for distribution, or “separate property,” assets acquired prior the marriage and exempt from division.
Kornitzer Family Law has the necessary familiarity with New Jersey’s equitable distribution laws to distinguish property as either marital property or separate property. We also have the skill to trace the commingling of separate assets with marital assets, prevent unfair distribution and ensure that no assets or debts are overlooked.

Marital property may include anything you have that could be considered an asset, such as:

  • Stocks and bonds
  • Automobiles
  • Bank accounts
  • Investment accounts
  • Marital home and vacation homes
  • Home furnishings
  • Timeshares
  • Retirement funds
  • Bitcoin / Digital Currency
  • Pensions and annuities
  • Businesses
  • Pets

Bob is an excellent attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.

Client

My divorce finally ended last year after about two years of legal process. He was recommended to me by a former client of his and my friend in the middle of my divorce. My former attorney did not seem to be capable of handling my case due to the complexity of it. The best decision that I ever made was to retain Bob to represent me. He has so much expertise and experience in matrimonial law and is very dedicated to his clients. Bob is readily accessible and always answers my questions in less than 24 hours. It was a very taxing and stressful process, but Bob made it much more manageable for me. I highly recommend Bob to anyone who is looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, honest, professional, and tough fighter matrimonial attorney! Thank you so much Bob and Diana!!!
