Re: divorce

You can sell assets prior to litigation, so long as you act in good faith and can account for how the proceeds are spent. Selling them at fair market value to pay off marital debt is rarely a problem. Of course, you haven't listed the specifics of what you intend to do, so it's not possible to give any specific advice for your situation.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
