Property Division

A contentious issue that often arises during a divorce is the division of property.  Our attorneys understand the importance of equitably dividing property and are experienced in non-marital property disputes.

Marital property is property and assets acquired during the marriage.  This property can be divided by agreement or as the court deems equitable.  It is important to know your legal rights and obligations regarding an equitable division of property.

Minnesota law allows each spouse to retain their non-marital property upon divorce.  However, determining which property is non-marital can be difficult and requires detailed tracing to prove that certain assets are truly non-marital in nature.  The family law attorneys at McCarten Law Firm are experienced in contested non-marital property cases and can guide you through the legal realities of your case and explain your options.
