When you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse are on good terms, you might suppose you have no reason to hire an attorney to represent you in the upcoming divorce proceedings. After all, you both might agree on everything involved in it so far.
However, you can never be certain if or when the case might turn contentious and heated. You can protect yourself legally and financially regardless of the nature of the case when you put counsel like an experienced Montgomery County divorce lawyer on retainer.
Dividing Marital Assets
Your case might turn heated quickly when you and your spouse cannot agree on if or how to split marital assets. You might contend some of the assets are yours entirely since you owned them outright prior to the marriage. However, your spouse might contend he or she is owed half of them, particularly if they are worth a lot of money.
Your attorney can review the legal ownership of the assets and prove in court who rightfully should retain them once the judge settles the case. Your lawyer can ensure you retain assets you legally owned before getting married and get ownership or profits from any assets that are shared and sold in the divorce proceedings.
