Equitable Distribution, Property Division and Divorce
Hector Montoya: An Experienced Family Law Attorney in Tucson, Arizona
If you are considering divorce or are already engaged in the process of ending your marriage — dividing marital property is a major concern. In some states, property division is done on a 50/50 basis. Arizona, however, is a community property state, which means the focus is on equitable, not equal, distribution of property.
What does that mean to you? It means how the "numbers" are calculated and put together is critical.
At the Law Office of Hector A. Montoya, P.C., we are able to provide our Southern Arizona divorce clients with more than just an experienced lawyer; we're able to provide an experienced lawyer who also worked as a corporate financial analyst for more than a decade before attending law school. Put Mr. Montoya's experience, skill and dedication to work for you and contact our Tucson offices today.
Property Division by the Numbers
Property division is about inventorying the assets of a marriage and valuating them correctly so that asset division and debt division can be accomplished fairly. Divorcing couples can decide how they want to do this for themselves or can have a judge decide for them.
Attorney Hector Montoya's strong background in financial analysis enables him to take what you have, what you owe and the value of assets such as your home, investments, stocks, employee benefits, pension plans, professional practices and other businesses — and put those numbers together in the right way so that at the end of the divorce, assets are not divided unfairly.
One of our key strengths in this area is business valuation. There are five different ways to valuate a business and each one can produce a different result. Our firm works with business valuation experts to evaluate the numbers and to make a strong case for using the method that is most advantageous to you.
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders
More commonly referred to as QDROs, qualified domestic relations orders deal with the division of complex assets such as 401k plans and investment portfolios. QDROs are another aspect of property division in which we employ experts to assist us in putting forward the best possible financial arguments we can on behalf of our clients.
