Experienced in Pennsylvania and New Jersey Property Division

With nearly 20 years of legal experience, family law attorney Carla V. Risoldi has comprehensive knowledge of the divorce and property division laws in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Contrary to what many people believe, property is not simply divided equally in divorce. Rather, the courts in Pennsylvania and New Jersey follow an equitable distribution standard. This means that the court evaluates a number of important factors to determine an equitable (fair) division of assets. Additionally, the courts allocate fair distribution of marital debt or liabilities. Factors that may be considered by the court include:

• Length of the marriage
• Age and health of both spouses
• Vocational skills and employability of both spouses
• Each spouse's income
• Contribution to the marriage, including contribution to the other spouse's increased earning capacity or contribution as a homemaker
• Each spouse's contribution to the appreciation (increased value) of marital assets
• The marital standard of living
• Tax ramifications of property division or spousal support awards
• Written agreements made by the spouses
• Debts/liabilities of either spouse
• Additional factors

Certain assets, such as assets acquired prior to the marriage, gifts or inheritances, may be excluded from property division. However, these are complex issues and should be discussed with an experienced divorce and property division lawyer to ensure your rights and property interests are fully preserved.

At Risoldi Law Offices, LLC, we have extensive experience in divorce and in resolving complex property disputes, including disputes over the creation of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), significant marital debt, high-asset divorce issues involving hidden assets and many other complex issues. While we focus on minimizing the expense of divorce by negotiating effective property settlement agreements, when possible we are dedicated to fighting for your rights — at the negotiation table or in the courtroom.
