Property Division Attorney Lexington KY

Lexington KY Divorce Attorney Breck Norment can help increase your chances of getting a fair property and debt division in your divorce.

Property division is one of the main sources of contention in contested Lexington, KY divorces, particularly when the parties have accumulated significant assets and debts before and during their marriage.  Kentucky courts follow complex rules when determining what assets and debts are "marital" and what assets and debts are "non-marital."  Generally speaking, although there are MANY EXCEPTIONS to this rule, property and debts acquired during the marriage is "marital property", subject to division by the court.  Contrast that with "non-marital" property, which generally consists of property and debts acquired prior to the marriage.  The kicker here is that to make a non-marital claim, you bear the burden of proving that property is non-marital in nature.  If you can trace your property in this manner to prove the property is non-marital in nature, you can take that property "off the top" as your separate, non-marital property.
