Judicial resolution of disputes of this kind has certain nuances that are not obvious at first glance, but are well known to professionals. Such knowledge can be put at the service of your interests. For example, disputes on the dissolution of marriage and the recovery of alimony are resolved by the magistrate’s court, and disputes on the division of property, disputes about children and the procedure for communicating with them are resolved by the federal court. The combination of different claims in one claim may affect the jurisdiction of the dispute. There is a possibility of filing a counterclaim in the magistrate’s court, which makes it possible to transfer the case to the district court. Similarly, when considering related claims, it is possible to raise the issue of allocating one of them or part of it to a separate proceeding, which allows, for example, to resolve the issue of divorce or alimony promptly, and in the future to divide the property in a calm mode. It’ s interesting that alimony can be taken without dissolving the marriage. In disputes about the dissolution of marriage, there is a period for reconciliation, which many people use to delay the case. This can be countered with a reasonable approach. There are also peculiarities in the field of alimony recovery. The law allows you to recover them from the moment you go to court, including the period before the decision is made. The period during which alimony can be collected retrospectively depends on many circumstances and requires a separate analysis. There are many subtleties in the division of family assets, if they are related to entrepreneurial activity. There are methods of blurring control and other tricks that allow you to devalue your spouse’s share in the business. But there are also mechanisms for equalizing such losses by collecting compensation from the guilty party.

An interesting question is the division of property in half or the allocation to one or another party of a particular property of comparable value with the elimination of the imbalance by compensation. Not every property can be divided in kind, it may happen that, following the results of the court, additional negotiations or lawsuits will be needed to turn into money what was received during the division. This also needs to be taken into account when choosing a behavior strategy. We gave here only a small part of the information that is important for winning in court. We are ready to analyze a specific case and represent your interests in disputes in this area.
