Understanding Property Division and Equitable Distribution in North Carolina:

In North Carolina, when a married couple decides to end their marriage, the division of property and assets acquired during the marriage is subject to equitable distribution laws. Equitable distribution does not necessarily mean an equal 50/50 split; rather, it aims to divide marital property and debts fairly based on various factors defined under state law.

How Smith Debnam Attorneys at Law Can Assist You:

2. Comprehensive Case Evaluation: During an initial consultation, we will conduct a thorough assessment of your case, taking into account the relevant factors defined under North Carolina law. Our attorneys will carefully review your marital assets, debts, income, contributions, and other pertinent factors to build a solid foundation for your case.
3. Strategic Negotiations and Settlements: We believe in exhausting all possibilities for amicable resolutions. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who strive to achieve favorable settlements through mediation and collaborative processes, sparing you the time, cost, and emotional strain of litigation whenever possible.
