West Virginia is an equitable distribution state, meaning that your property will be equally divided between both parties to a divorce. Your property will be divided into marital and non-marital assets. We will help you protect those assets which are non-marital, including gifts, inheritance, or property accumulated after the date of separation. We can assist you in claiming your rights to a vehicle or ensuring that you are compensated for a vehicle that was acquired during the marriage.

We are experienced in working with experts in property division including forensic accounts to recover hidden or improperly withdrawn funds.
