property division will be handled. Regardless of whether you have multiple\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/residential-real-estate\/\">real estate holdings<\/a>\u00a0or simply have an apartment and a car, there is surely marital property to be divided. Whenever you are faced with divorce and the issue of property division, you need to secure the legal representation of the law firm of George C. Malonis. We will work to ensure your rights and assets are protected and that fairness and equitable distribution is adhered to as a clear and sound resolution is found.<\/p><p>Marital property subject to division can include everything obtained during the marriage and certain assets even before the marriage. The judge has the ultimate power to decide what is considered\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/m\/maritalproperty.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marital property<\/a>\u00a0and what an equitable split entails. However, when you secure aggressive legal representation from the law firm of George C. Malonis, you can be sure you have an advocate in your corner who cares as much about protecting your rights and assets as you do.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c175895 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c175895\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0240f7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0240f7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"557\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Property-Division.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1147\" alt=\"Property Division image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Property-Division.webp 557w, https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Property-Division-300x205.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d39435 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6d39435\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4dff5b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b4dff5b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5598831 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5598831\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Individual Assets &amp; Property Considerations<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b3fbf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b3fbf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Some of the shared and individual assets that can be considered as part of any property division can include:<\/p><ul><li>Houses and other real estate holdings<\/li><li>Vehicles<\/li><li>Retirement accounts<\/li><li>Bank accounts<\/li><li>Trusts<\/li><li>Stocks<\/li><li>Family owned businesses<\/li><li>Collectibles of value\u2014jewelry, art, etc.<\/li><\/ul><p>When it comes to property division in Massachusetts, the judge will most likely consider the following factors and more before making a ruling.<\/p><ul><li>Length of marriage<\/li><li>Age and health of spouses<\/li><li>Lifestyle during the marriage<\/li><li>Income<\/li><li>Earning potential or employability of a spouse<\/li><li>Individual property<\/li><li>Contribution of each spouse during the marriage<\/li><\/ul><p>Unlike other family law matters, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/child-custody-support\/\">child support<\/a>\u00a0or alimony, a Massachusetts property division ruling is not subject to future\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/modification-and-contempt\/\">modification<\/a>.
