Common Challenges in Property Settlements
2/8/2026
Even cooperative divorces can face obstacles. A skilled attorney helps navigate issues such as:

Disagreements About Fairness: Virginia uses equitable distribution, emphasizing fairness rather than a strict 50/50 split.
Hidden or Undervalued Assets: Forensic accountants can uncover concealed accounts or property.
Business Valuation: Complex businesses require appraisals and careful division planning.
Emotional Attachment to Property: Objectivity is crucial when dividing sentimental assets.
Poorly Drafted Agreements: Templates and verbal agreements may be unenforceable; a lawyer ensures legal compliance.
