Alabama Property Division in Divorce

At the law office of Ables, Baxter, Parker, Pippin & Avant, P.C., you will find divorce attorneys, with years of legal experience, ready to consult with colleagues who practice real estate law, pensions and estate planning, and business law to determine your property division in a divorce. We are able to assist with even the most complex property settlement cases.

Equitable Distribution

When Alabama courts are called upon to divide marital assets—when a couple cannot reach an agreement amongst themselves—they will follow the principle of "equitable distribution." The court will attempt to divide the assets equitably between the two parties.

What the court considers "equitable" may not seem fair and reasonable to the people involved. If you would like help and support in working together to reach a mutually agreeable property settlement agreement, contact a divorce attorney at Ables, Baxter, Parker, Pippin & Avant, P.C. We can offer the services of a certified divorce mediator, as well as experienced and aggressive courtroom litigation if your case requires that.

Alabama is a "non-community property" state. That means that the court will not distribute property that one spouse obtained individually before or during the marriage (including inheritance money), unless it was used jointly during the marriage.

Our divorce attorneys work with many active duty and retired military personnel. We understand the factors to be considered in dividing military pension funds.
