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.

Throughout the entire process, Mr. Roman was informative and understanding. If I had a question it was answered truthfully whether it was what I wanted to hear or not. I truly appreciate that in someone's character. When working with an attorney I don't want to be lied to I want the bitter truth good or bad and that is what Mr. Roman will give you. I was honest with him and put my expectations out there. In the end, the outcome was better than either of us had hoped. Thank you again for all you have done for me.- Lee

I was very scared and called Attorney Roman based on a referral and reviews here. He met with me within 24 hours and was able to push my pre-trial date up for the same day! He explained all of my rights and what would happen in court very thoroughly and was patient in answering all my questions. We agreed on my plea and got exactly what we asked for in court; again, same day! This allowed me to apply to get my license back months and months sooner. He gave me peace of mind and honestly saved me. Thank you, Atty Roman!- Previous Client

I hired Attorney Roman for an issue I had in Wrentham Massachusetts! From our very first conversation I felt like Attorney Roman listened to me and was committed to making sure that my case was handled properly! He assured me that he would do what needed to be done, with the ultimate hope of gettting my case dismissed! Mr. Roman was extremely professional, very diligent in his approach and he was successful in getting my case dismissed! From the very first moment he took the case I felt very confident in his abilities too do what was required and felt confident that he really cared about me and the outcome of the case! He stayed in touch every step of the way! It was the assurance by Attorney Roman that he would work hard to make sure that my case was as successful as possible! He made me feel very comfortable that he would do whatever was necessary and he did exactly that! If anyone needs an attorney I would highly suggest attorney Brian Roman is the Attorney you want on your side! He does what he says and he cares about his clients, two very important things in my opinion! I couldn't be more happy with Attorney Roman and the dismissal he was able to secure for me! Again, I highly recommend Attorney Roman if you're looking for someone who will fight for you and cares about you and the issues you may face! Thank you Attorney Roman!- James
