DIVORCE DEBT

More than just property needs to be divided during a divorce. Just like everything else you shared during your marriage, debt will also need to be divided in order to be paid off. This includes debt on your mortgage, credit cards, car payments, and other loans. In addition, many separating couples do not realize that the cost of a lawyer and the legal proceedings during a divorce can also be considered marital debt and therefore also negotiated in your divorce proceedings.

We can assist you, offering family-driven, results-oriented representation. Call 801-274-7001 now for a consultation with one of our experienced attorneys.

Some aspects of the marriage that are taken into consideration when dividing property include:

• How long the marriage lasted
• Which spouse had a higher income
• Whether or not there was a prenuptial agreement
• If children are involved
