Distinguishing Between Marital and Non-Marital Assets
A critical aspect of equitable distribution is distinguishing between marital and non-marital assets. Marital assets are those acquired during the marriage, while non-marital assets are those obtained individually before or outside of the marriage. CLS Law Firm excels in accurately classifying these assets, ensuring that each party retains their rightful property.

- Protecting Individual Contributions: Our focus extends to recognizing both financial and non-financial contributions to the marriage, including homemaking and child-rearing efforts, reflecting their value in the distribution process.
Considering Economic Circumstances and Contributions
The equitable distribution process involves a thorough examination of each spouse's economic situation and contributions to the marriage. This includes evaluating career sacrifices, homemaking contributions, and the impact on future earning capacities. CLS Law Firm's detailed analysis ensures a fair consideration of all aspects, aiming for an equitable outcome that supports both parties' financial independence post-divorce.
- Evaluating Financial Status: We assess the financial circumstances of each spouse, aiming to ensure that the division allows for a stable transition to post-divorce life.
- Acknowledging Contributions to the Marriage: Our legal strategy includes a careful consideration of each spouse's contributions, from financial investments to caregiving and homemaking roles, ensuring these efforts are fairly represented in the distribution outcome.
Navigating Complex Factors in Asset Division
