Allocation of Debt

Clients often place too much emphasis on how assets are divided. Of equal or greater importance is debt allocation. Loans for cars, homes, credit cards and other loans must also be divided fairly. Our attorneys have significant skill in ferreting out pre-marital debts, debts that are hidden and debts attributable to waste, such as gambling. We strive to document parties’ debts so they can be properly apportioned to the responsible spouse.
