Property Division Attorney in Grand Rapids

Protecting Your Assets During Divorce

Getting divorced from your spouse can be a cause for concern if you depended on them financially or if you have certain assets you are afraid of losing. At The Wealthy Street Law Firm, we are committed to helping you feel financially secure during your divorce.

Michigan is an equitable distribution state, which means that you and your spouse will not necessarily receive a 50/50 split of your property. It is important that you hire a skilled Grand Rapids divorce attorney to represent you and guide you through the process and protect your assets.

There are many types of property and financial assets which may be subject to division, including:

  • Real property
  • Retirement funds
  • Savings accounts
  • Vehicles
  • Boats
  • Fine art and jewelry
  • Furnishings and other property

Property Division in Contested Divorces

The best case scenario is that you and your spouse can agree on who takes what, such as you get to keep your primary residence and your spouse takes the vacation home. However, when it comes to dividing assets in a tumultuous divorce, this is not always possible. If you cannot decide who takes what, you will leave the decision in the hands of the court during litigation.

There are many factors which may be considered by the court including:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The income each spouse has
  • The economic situation of each spouse
  • The financial responsibilities of each spouse
  • What each spouse contributed to the marriage

Negotiating for a Fair Asset Settlement

If you are involved in a high-net-worth divorce or have complex assets, it is essential that you hire a knowledgeable Grand Rapids property division lawyer to represent you. We understand the importance of holding onto the assets that you have worked hard to earn. You can rely on us to manage all of the legal aspects of your case, from uncovering possible hidden assets and valuation of property to negotiating in court on your behalf.

    "Lee Coppage is amazing!"
    Lee Coppage is an absolute Lion in court! When I first saw this fresh-faced and young Attorney I had a moment of doubt until I heard him speak in Court and to opposing Attorney. He was fearless, articulate, forceful, and didn't hesitate to make himself heard. After 3 years of court dates, I believe this circus would have continued if not for him. Thank you Lee, you are my hero!!!

    "My Lawyer is Sharper than Yours!"
    I am thrilled to be able to leave a rave review of my attorney Lee Coppage. Not only was he sharply dressed and his appearance spoke business but his expertise and manner in which he takes over a courtroom was amazing. I was always satisfied to know that he would definitely get my point across and my voice would be heard through him (loud and clear) every single court appearance. He helped guide me through the worse time of my adult life. I was emotionally flustered and extremely concerned about my children and their wellbeing. Lee was supportive, knowledgeable and extremely patient with me. Several times I had emotional breakdowns and the staff in Mr. Crowe's office was very respectful and tolerated everything. It was a long year for me but I am proud to say that I made the best decision by hiring the office of Wayne Crowe Jr and blessed by having Lee represent me in court during this custody battle. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided to me.
