Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: distrabution of martial property.

Issues such as these are typically "negotiated" between the parties, with the help & participation of attorneys ... in my experience, it would not be a good thing to end up before the Court with such issues "un-resolved"; typically, with much grumbling and growling, any judge would pointedly tell the lawyers to go out with their clients and either wring an agreement out of them, or wring their necks.

Put otherwise, there is nothing like an 'absolute', mathematical formula applied to these issues, as a rule &, worst case scenario, if no one could agree, you might end up with an order to sell both cars & split the proceeds ... or something like that.

The point being: the court will expect you folks to work this out.

Good luck.

Regards, etc.,
