Property Division

Massachusetts divorce property laws require an equitable property division of all property owned by both parties, including inheritances and property brought into the marriage. Property to be divided includes the marital home and other real estate, motor vehicles, pensions and other retirement accounts, stock options, investments and bank accounts. Division of property in a collaborative divorce is often accomplished with the help of a financial specialist, a real estate appraiser or broker, a pension specialist and, in some cases, a tax consultant.

In a collaborative divorce property settlements are negotiated in collaborative meetings where you will reach a property agreement. The divorce property division is final and cannot be modified after the divorce is final.

I think we should have a divorce party for our friends and neighbors. We do parties well together and I want them to see that we are both OK and that they don't have to take sides or chose between us.
