Property Division Under Virginia Law
Division of marital property is also called "equitable division" in Virginia. Under this concept, the Court considers both the monetary and non-monetary contributions of the parties to property. In other words, the Court has some leeway and can be persuaded to divide property on something other than a 50/50 basis. For this reason, you need advice and representation by a skilled and experienced divorce lawyer.
Identifying, Tracing, and Valuing Separate Property
The longer the duration of a marriage, the more likely that the separate property of one spouse will become commingled with that of the other. To equitably divide marital assets, it is first necessary to identify, trace, and value that separate property.
