Dividing Personal Property in High-Asset Divorce

In Pennsylvania divorce, all property and assets are divided according to the law of equitable distribution. This means that possessions and accounts are divided equally and fairly but not necessarily in a 50-50 fashion.

Equitable distribution applies to all property and assets, regardless of their value. However, all the effects must be properly valued to ensure fairness. This can be difficult when the personal property is of high net worth.

    "Maria and her associates are beyond exceptional!!"

    Between her tenacity and intellect, she took me from paying out $110,000 to $50,000 and ending with saving me $65,000 in my divorce settlement.

    "She is responsive, decisive, and most importantly, honest about the legal process and expectations."

    Her support staff is also phenomenal, from her receptionist to her highly skilled (and very kind) paralegal. I never thought I’d need a family law attorney, but I am so glad I have her.

    There is no way I would have made it through this life-changing ordeal without Cognetti & Associates! I’ve had several folks ask me who represented me and I’ve gladly shared.

    "I am very grateful for her and her staff."

    Maria was tough! I now understand why. Allowing her to do what she felt was best for me, gave me a settlement in favor of me rather than paying out.
