ALABAMA Part 8

Financial Considerations


A divorce settlement or a judgment is a permanent, life-changing event. Decisions you make today can have great implications on your life ten years from now or even when you are getting ready for retirement. Just as a supposedly even 50/50 split is not always equal when considering time with children, a 50/50 split is not always equal when considering dividing assets.  If all of your assets are in cash, then a split down the middle would be easy, but that is almost never the case.  A $300,000 home is not equal to $300,000 in cash. On one hand, the house usually comes with other expenses such as utilities and maintenance, not to mention the mortgage payment. And a house in ten years could be worth more or less than the same original amount of cash. The Gathings Law Divorce Attorneys will work with you to find the right mix of assets that works best for you today and into the future.
