I am Mariya Borevich, your personal lawyer. My primary goal is to help clients find optimal solutions to current legal issues, ensuring reliable protection of their interests. I specialize in family, civil, and military law, which allows me to effectively handle a variety of situations and cases. In family law, I provide support in resolving issues related to divorce, property division, establishing and challenging parental rights, alimony, and child custody. I understand that these matters are often emotionally complex, so I always strive to find the most delicate and fair solutions for all parties involved. In civil law, I assist in settling disputes related to contracts, property rights, compensation for damages, inheritance, and other issues concerning the protection of personal and property interests. Special attention is given to military law — supporting servicemen, protecting their rights and interests related to military service, social guarantees, and legal disputes. This area requires deep knowledge and understanding of the specifics of military service and the legislation regulating it.
Division of property in court is one of the most complex and sensitive aspects of divorce. This process requires careful analysis of the property rights and interests of both parties, as well as fair distribution of assets and liabilities. For many couples, property division becomes a source of conflicts and disputes, so it is important to have an understanding of the procedure and key aspects of this process.
The first step in the property division process is gathering all necessary information about the property of both partners. This may include real estate, financial assets, businesses, automobiles, income, and other valuables. Next, each asset is assessed for its value.
Afterward, the parties or their attorneys may attempt to reach an agreement on property division outside of court. If an agreement cannot be reached, the matter may be brought to court. The court decides how to distribute the property taking into account legal requirements and the parties' interests.
The court considers the legal rights of each partner to the property and strives to ensure a fair distribution, taking into account all circumstances of the case. An accurate assessment of each asset is necessary for precise property division. This may include real estate appraisals, business valuations, and assessments of other valuables.
If partners have shared property, the court considers its distribution according to principles of fairness and equality. In cases involving children, the court may prioritize allowing one parent to retain access to the residence to provide stability for the children.
In some cases, partners may have prior agreements regarding property division. The court will consider these agreements when making decisions.
Preparation and submission of documents to the court are important stages of the property division process during divorce. These documents play a key role in presenting evidence, arguments, and establishing legal basis for the court's decision regarding asset distribution. Here is a list of main documents that may be necessary for submission to the court during property division:
Complaint: This is the main document that initiates the case before the court. The complaint typically specifies the parties, their claims, arguments, and requests regarding property division.
Inventory of property: This document contains a detailed description and valuation of all property subject to division. This may include real estate, automobiles, financial assets, businesses, etc.
Financial documents: Financial documents such as bank statements, income declarations, tax returns, etc., may be submitted to the court. These documents help the court obtain a full picture of the parties' financial situation.
Contracts and agreements: If there are prior agreements regarding property division, such as prenuptial agreements or agreements on shared property, these documents may be included in the court's records.
Expert opinions: If necessary, experts may be involved to provide their opinions on property valuation, financial condition, etc. These opinions may be included in the court's records.
Documents regarding children: If there are children involved, documents related to their support, upbringing, and custody may be submitted to the court.
Security documents: If necessary, one of the parties may submit documents regarding mandatory security, which may include alimony, maintenance, etc.
This is just a general list of documents that may be necessary for property division in court. The specific list of documents may vary depending on the legislation of the country and the specific circumstances of the case. It is important to seek proper legal advice to determine the necessary documents and prepare them correctly before submitting them to the court.
Property division in court is an important stage in the divorce process, which can have a significant impact on the future of each party. To ensure a fair and equitable distribution, it is important to have a proper understanding of the procedure and key aspects of this process. Seeking assistance from qualified lawyers or specialized experts can help ensure that your rights and interests are protected during the property division process.
