Dedicated Divorce Attorney Helping You Secure Your Fair Share
Property division is among the most contentious issues in any divorce. Deciding who gets what is a complicated proposition that requires the intervention of a seasoned Pennsylvania divorce lawyer.
My name is Joseph A. Guillama, and I represent clients throughout Berks County and surrounding counties in divorce and division of property issues. I can help you make the most of your divorce, securing your share of assets and property acquired during your marriage.
What Is Equitable Division?
Pennsylvania is known as an “equitable distribution” state. This means that when spouses divorce, their assets are divided between them fairly, either through a settlement or by the decision of a special master and/or judge.
“Equitable” does not necessarily mean “equal,” however. The length of your marriage, your contributions made to the marriage and spouses’ income disparities make it entirely possible for one spouse to end up with more than the other. This is why it pays to retain those who can ensure your interests are protected.
Are Your Assets Simple Or Complex?
Having practiced law for over two decades, I am a skilled asset evaluator who has helped clients with interests in complex business assets worth millions of dollars. I also assist clients of more modest means. In all cases, I devote my full energy to securing accurate valuations of property, determining actual ownership of those assets and pursuing my clients’ goals regarding those assets.
These assets may include:
- Homes
- Cars
- Investments
- Bank accounts
- Pensions and retirement benefits
- Businesses
- Personal property
Whether your assets are simple or complex, I am committed to delivering tailored evaluations and legal advice that accurately reflect your unique situation.
What About A Marital Agreement?
Many clients inquire about preparing for divorce using marital agreements. These agreements, which people can agree to before marriage, during marriage or while contemplating divorce, can all accomplish the same goals: setting parameters for how marital assets and debts will be apportioned and establishing financial arrangements for your children.
I will be happy to answer any questions you might have about a prenuptial agreement, postnuptial agreement or separation agreement. I routinely draft, review and defend these documents.
