Our Core Mission Is To Help You Resolve Your Family Law Concern

Understanding Property Division In North Carolina Divorce Cases

Managing the complexities of property division during a divorce is extra challenging when there are high-dollar assets or disagreements. At Hopper Law Office, we are dedicated to guiding you through this critical aspect of family law. We bring clarity and compassion to the task.

We are a skilled legal team in Raleigh, ready to assist you in achieving a fair outcome in your divorce. We also aim to help you protect those assets that mean the most to you.

Equitable Distribution: Fair But Not Always Equal

In North Carolina, the law requires that property division in divorce cases be equitable, which means fair but not necessarily equal. Here are some key considerations:

  • Marital property includes all assets and debts accumulated up to the point of separation.
  • Equitable distribution involves three steps: Identifying marital property, valuing it accurately and dividing it fairly.
  • Separate property, such as inheritances or gifts meant solely for one spouse, remains with that individual.

The principle of equitable distribution applies to both property and debts acquired during the marriage.

Strategies For A Fair Division

At Hopper Law Office, our services include:

  • Diligently identifying all marital and separate assets.
  • Valuing assets accurately to reflect the current market conditions.
  • Negotiating with the opposing party to reach an amicable agreement, if possible.

We utilize all available strategies to ensure you receive your fair share

Mediation: The Path To Amicable Resolution

Before stepping into the courtroom, couples are required to attempt mediation. This process has the potential to bring about favorable outcomes without the need for litigation.

Our lead divorce attorney, Kevin Hopper, is well-versed in mediation tactics and will advocate for your interests throughout the process.

When Litigation Is Necessary

While we strive for resolution outside of court, in some situations, litigation becomes inevitable.

Our team is prepared to support you vigorously in court to ensure that the division of assets and debts is handled justly.

Dealing With Hidden Assets And Debt

Hidden assets and undisclosed debts can complicate divorce proceedings. Our team has the experience to uncover these concealed elements.

Ultimately, we aim to ensure that any hidden assets come to light in time to be considered in the final settlement.
