Property Division Attorney In North Attleboro, Massachusetts
Protecting Clients’ Interests
Each state approaches property division in divorce cases in its own unique manner, reflecting its legal principles and cultural values. In Massachusetts, the framework for this process is defined by the law of "equitable distribution," which is designed to ensure that property and assets are divided in a way that is equal and fair to both parties, though it does not necessarily mean a strict 50-50 split. Instead, the division takes into account various factors, including the length of the marriage, the contributions of each spouse, and the financial circumstances of both parties. While the courts provide guidelines under this law, individuals still have the opportunity to advocate for what they believe they rightfully deserve.
To navigate this complex legal landscape effectively, seeking the guidance of an experienced professional is crucial. Attorney Brian D. Roman, an accomplished property division lawyer based in Attleboro, is prepared to provide the assistance needed to help you secure your rightful share during this challenging time.

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.
