Philadelphia Equitable Distribution Attorneys

Dividing Property During Divorce or Separation

The equitable distribution of property, also called property division, is the fair division of property that has been acquired during a marriage or other committed relationship. This process is not only a matter of establishing who will retain the family home or who will get which car. Other assets that are harder to value, including pensions and businesses, must also be included in the original property settlement agreement.

At the Law Office of Smith & Horwitz, our Philadelphia equitable distribution lawyers have more than 35 years of experience assisting divorcing or separating couples with their marital property, community property and separate property concerns. From family homes to inheritances, we understand how to classify and value property to create property settlement agreements that are in the best interests of our clients.
