PROPERTY DIVISION IN WAKE COUNTY

Wake County is the second most populated county in North Carolina. Under North Carolina law, the court will divide the “marital property” and “divisible property” through a process called “Equitable Distribution.”

The court will determine the distribution of all marital property using a 3-step analysis. Assets are first identified, valued, and then distributed. An action for Equitable Distribution can be filed by either spouse.

An attorney can be useful to avoid errors, but also when there is disappearance or any sort of marital waste. You want to obtain the best possible outcome based on the facts of your case. Attorney’s are especially helpful when your, or you spouse, have significant pre-marital, or inherited, assets. Get more details on Equitable Distribution when divorcing.
