Divorce mediation is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to a traditional divorce. The way mediation works is that a trained neutral party facilitates and aids the spouses or domestic partners in coming to their own agreement, which settles the issues in their divorce. http://www.bmmrfamilylaw.com/ 585 Stewart Avenue, Suite LL-30 Garden City, New York 11530...

Separate Property vs. Marital Property One of the first steps in any property division case is determining which assets are separate property and which are marital property. Generally, separate property was acquired prior to marriage. Marital property was acquired during marriage. This also applies in determining marital debt and marital assets. However, property, debt and asset division can be complex. For example, a home may have been purchased by one person prior to marria...ge, but during the marriage both people contributed to the mortgage. Businesses Businesses are also valued, normally with the assistance of forensic experts. In valuing a business, a determination as to whether the books, records and tax returns accurately reflect the income stream is essential. Oftentimes unreported cash is received and, more often than not, improper deductions are taken by the titled spouse which artificially reduces the profitability of the company and accordingly must be added back. The most important work in a family law case regarding the valuation of assets and the determination of true income is in the discovery phase. The production of documents and depositions are essential to achieving the maximum result. The property division experts at Barrocas, Mintz, Misuraca, and Record will ensure that you get the best property settlement available based on your specific case. We will work tirelessly to protect your personal property rights and do everything we can to see that you receive a fair share of the marital estate. http://www.bmmrfamilylaw.com/ 585 Stewart Avenue, Suite LL-30 Garden City, New York 11530 Telephone: (516) 246-9790
