Aside from custody and other crucial issues involving children, financial matters are the most common sources of significant conflict in divorce.   Whether you have modest resources or substantial assets, your choice of a divorce lawyer to assert and protect your rights may impact your financial well-being for years to come.

Some people mistakenly believe that assets and debts must be divided “down the middle.”  In reality, Missouri courts consider numerous factors to achieve and enforce equitable distribution of marital property.

At Brodie Law, we take a 360-degree approach to property division, spousal maintenance if applicable, and other financial concerns.  For you, critical steps might include:

• Obtaining current, accurate valuations of property such as the marital home, other real estate, businesses or professional practices, and other high-value assets;
• Conducting the research  to determine whether specific assets should be treated as marital property subject to equitable division, or as separate property belonging to one party alone;
• Carefully considering which assets and specific financial outcomes are most important for your stability and future happiness; 
• Evaluating any existing prenuptial agreement or other contracts to determine their validity and impact on your position.

At Brodie Law, we offer resourceful, productive negotiation when possible and total preparation for litigation when necessary.
