At the time of divorce, one of the primary concerns faced by most couples is the division of property.

At Durand & Associates, P.C., we take a strategic approach to assess your property and protect your rights through the litigation process.

Identifying Separate and Community Property
The first issue in property disputes is determining what is considered separate property, what is community property, and what could be considered both. Our attorneys have extensive experience in cases involving the division of property and constantly strive to protect your rights. We will help to value property to ensure that you get the full amount you are entitled to. From discovery and investigation through trial, we will articulate your rights and advocate for your interests in order to obtain the results you deserve.
We are experienced in the complex division of property including:
- Business valuation
- Profit sharing plans
- Stock options
- Deferred compensation
- 401k
- IRA accounts
- Debt division
- Retirement benefits/pensions
QDRO for Pensions
The more complex and extensive your estate, the more time and discovery will be required. If you have a pension plan that will be divided, it is important to start working on a QDRO (qualified domestic relations order) as soon as possible. While the process can be time consuming and difficult, our attorneys have extensive experience and will do everything in their power to protect your rights.
