Lawrenceville Property Division Attorney

All property acquired during the marriage from earnings of either spouse, no matter whose name it is in or who earned the money with which the property was acquired, is subject to equitable division of property by the court. Equitable division is defined as what is fair and reasonable under the circumstances. Equitable division does not have to be equal division.

What is Considered Marital Property in Georgia?

Property brought into the marriage by one of the marital partners is a non-marital asset and is not subject to equitable division.

Property received by either spouse through gift, inheritance, bequest or devise remains the separate property of that party and is not subject to equitable division unless the appreciation in the value was caused by efforts of either party during the marriage.

A spouse's business, bank accounts, IRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, inventory, accounts receivable, automobiles and real property may be subject to equitable division.

Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs)

A QDRO can be used to divide or transfer funds from a pension plan or a Defined Benefit Retirement Plan (usually a 401(k) or a profit-sharing plan) from one spouse to another incident to a divorce without tax consequences or penalties.

The drafting of a QDRO involves federal (ERISA) and state laws and many complex or technical rules and requirements.
