Division of Property & Debt


In divorce there are many complex issues and disputes to resolve. Aside from issues concerning your children, property and debt division are likely to be the most unsettling. Additionally, reaching agreements on some issues such as who stays in your house may well impact your children. As in all matters of divorce, we will closely assess what is in the best interests of your children. If you do not have children, I will work for equitable distribution in accordance with state law.

Equitable distribution, however, may not mean an exact 50-50 split in Tennessee. Together, we will examine several factors that help to determine how your marital assets and debts should be fairly distributed. As a solo practitionerattorney in Brentwood for nearly 20 years, I have become knowledgeable and effective in handling this aspect of your divorce case with efficiency. I can assist in having business valuations performed by appropriate experts, when necessary, evaluate financial investments and bank records, and obtain accurate property appraisals to get a full picture of the assets and debts you and your spouse have acquired.

I will work to help you evaluate the equity in your home, divide business assets if necessary, protect you from debt liabilities to the fullest extent possible and advocate for your best interests concerning fair and equitable distribution.

Contact the law office of Judy A. Oxford, Attorney at Law, today to schedule a consultation. We will discuss your case, and I will lay out your options in our first meeting.

Evaluating Your Full Property, Debt And Financial Picture

At the beginning of your case, this will be one of our primary objectives. As your lawyer, I will help you think outside of the box to help you determine the best solutions to achieving your goals and uncovering all marital assets and debts. I also help clients split retirement accounts fairly in divorce.

It will help you to know what the court will consider relevant in determining equitable division of your assets and debts. It will factor such aspects as:

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements will also factor into the court’s decision. Including a discussion of alimony to offset some potentially unequal division of property, we will discuss all your options and creatively structure the case that can yield your best possible result.
