Panama City Equitable Distribution Attorney
Our Firm Has Over 100 Years Of Combined Experience
Also known as property division, equitable distribution involves separating the assets acquired during a marriage. If you need assistance with equitable distribution or anticipate a complex divorce due to the assets involved, our Panama City equitable distribution lawyers can make the process as easy as possible.
At The Virga Law Firm, P.A., our team can handle your case with the diligence and attention to detail it merits and deserves. Equitable distribution requires that a divorcing couple come to an agreement on how to divide their marital property. Couples that cannot agree are usually headed for a contested divorce.
Marital property can include the following:
- Real estate
- Vehicles
- Furniture
- Bank accounts
- Debt
- Businesses
Separate property is excluded from equitable distribution. This includes any assets that were obtained before the marriage, gifts, or an inheritance. Although there is no way to determine how a court will rule, your chances of being successful are greatly increased when you are being represented by a reputable law firm. No matter how straightforward or complex your matter may seem, you can feel at ease and confident in knowing that your case is in good hands.
