Property Division Lawyer in Attleboro
Protecting Clients’ Interests throughout the Greater Boston Area
Each state approaches property division differently. In Massachusetts, property and assets are divided according to the law of "equitable distribution." This means that each party is awarded property and assets in an equal and fair manner, but not necessarily 50-50. While the courts are guided by this law, it is possible to pursue the property to which you believe you are entitled during a divorce. Attorney Brian D. Roman, an experienced Attleboro property division lawyer, can help.
Need more information about how property and assets may be divided in your specific situation? Call (508) 576-5922 now or contact Brian D. Roman, Attorney at Law online.
Property & Assets Subject to Division
There is a wide range of property and assets that are subject to division during the divorce process, including:
- Primary residences
- Vacation homes
- Real property
- Personal property
- Bank accounts
- Retirement accounts (including 401(k)s and IRAs)
- Stock options and employee benefits
- Offshore accounts
Any property and assets that were acquired during the course of the marriage are considered marital property and are subject to division. Separate property may not be divided, though parties may argue over whether or not it was actually separate. Any property protected by a prenuptial agreement stays with the individual parties.
Protecting Your Rights & Property
Though it may be possible to divide property after a divorce through a modification order, this is an unusual situation. It is more likely that you will be expected to abide by the provisions and asset allocation set forth in your divorce decree. This is why it is so essential to have an attorney on your side who fully understands your needs, goals, and the laws that govern the division of property.
Brian D. Roman, Attorney at Law offers more than two decades of experience handling all aspects of divorce and family law, including property division. Mr. Roman’s insight into these cases can be beneficial to you, providing you with a straightforward and realistic view of how a property settlement may be presented or negotiated, or how a judge may award property if the divorce proceeds to court.

"He was always on top of my case and was able to have 95% of the charges dropped"Attorney Roman was my lawyer for a superior court criminal matter. He was always on top of my case and was able to have 95% of the charges dropped, due to his constant work I was offered probation and no jail time. I honestly recommend Attorney Roman for your criminal case if one should arise. Knowing that one of the charges carried a mandatory one year sentence and he was able to have it dismissed was a HUGE relief. I was able to fix and continue my life.- Sean

"I would strongly recommend him."I used Brian Roman for my son. He was very professional and took the time to explain to my son all the possible options/outcomes.

"Skilled Lawyer and Advocate"Mr. Roman skillfully navigated the intricacies of our son’s case and was able to negotiate an excellent outcome. We are most grateful for his communication extending from the first phone call (answered on a Sunday!) through the court date, and his ability to thoroughly explain pros and cons to presented options, which helped guide us to make a good decision about how best to proceed. At all times we felt as though he was our son’s lawyer and advocate, and genuinely cared about him as a person. We cannot recommend Mr. Roman enough, and are very grateful to him.- Jon

"Consistently available for consultation, returned calls, and gave solid advice and counsel"Attorney Roman represented my son in a very sticky situation where he was arrested (wrong place at the wrong time). The major charges were dismissed with only a misdemeanor. It was the result that we were hoping for, and it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, Mr. Roman was consistently available for consultation, returned calls, and gave solid advice and counsel. I am so very grateful for his high level of professionalism and his depth of experience and knowledge of the local courts. I give him 5 stars plus with the highest level of recommendation.- Jody
