It's easy to think that divorce is merely a matter of signing a few papers and taking off a wedding ring. The truth is, it's far more complex and any mistake you make could have serious ramifications.
For instance, if you fail to fully disclose all of your assets and debts during divorce, your ex-spouse could later petition the courts for the right to those assets - leaving you in a difficult financial spot.
Likewise, you might believe that the house being in your spouse's name leaves you no right to it. However, if you were helping to pay the mortgage, it's likely that you have a right to part of the house's value.
Don't take risks with your financial future - and don't unknowingly give away money that you rightfully deserve. A contested divorce attorney will happily assist you with marital property division during divorce.
