Equitable Distribution
Fair division of what you have built together.
New York divides marital property equitably, not necessarily equally. Michael Napoli Law guides clients through the identification, valuation, and division of assets and debts, including the family home, retirement accounts, investments, and business interests.
Marital vs. Separate Property
The character of each asset, marital or separate, drives the outcome. The firm traces and argues characterization carefully, including the treatment of commingled or appreciated separate property.
Retirement & Pensions
Pensions, 401(k)s, and other retirement assets often represent the most significant marital property. The firm coordinates valuation and qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs) to divide these assets properly.
Business & Professional Interests
Where a business or professional practice is involved, valuation and the treatment of enhanced earning capacity require careful, well-supported analysis. The firm works with financial professionals to develop a defensible position.
Why Thoroughness Matters in Distribution
Property division is final. Assets overlooked or misvalued at the time of divorce cannot easily be revisited. The firm’s methodical approach is designed to ensure the division reflects the full marital estate.
