Nashville, Tennessee, Division of Assets Attorney
Property division in a divorce can be extremely complex. Hidden assets must often be uncovered, and questions must be answered regarding whether property is considered marital or non-marital. Additional questions may arise regarding the contribution that each spouse made to the purchase, appreciation and maintenance of valuable assets such as real estate, retirement accounts, family-owned businesses and motor vehicles. Once ownership of property is established, further questions may arise regarding taxes and the ownership of capital gains and asset appreciation.
If you face asset and debt division challenges in a pending divorce, contact Ewing Law Office LLC for effective legal representation to protect your rights and your share of the marital property. Lawyer Lisa Millican Ewing brings an impressive financial background to each divorce and property division case. Her background includes:
- A degree in business management with a major in accounting
- Founder, owner and manager of her own consulting firm, MedAccounts Inc.
We can perform a complete assessment of your finances and those of your spouse in order to accurately determine the martial assets and debts and the separate assets and debts. In addition, we can work to protect your ownership rights in your professional practice or business, real estate, bank and retirement accounts, or a closely held or family-owned business.
We can also work to pursue your property rights against spouses who have exerted inordinate control over family finances. In one recent case, a husband left our client with a commitment to provide only $50 per week in living expenses. Our client had no other income and was unable to make payments on their condominium home. We worked to obtain financial documents, uncover hidden assets and pursue a fair financial settlement.
Don't Forget Your Pet
Increasingly, we encounter clients concerned about the care and custody of their pet in a divorce. Perhaps surprisingly, an agreement for pet visitation rights is even an option, as is an injunction to prevent threats and harm to a pet by your former spouse. The courts will address concerns and issues involving family pets, and attorney Lisa Millican Ewing will work to insure the care and well-being of the families pets. Pet trusts can also be created to ensure the proper care of your pet upon your death or incapacity.
