Re: Property Settlement

First, I would be interested in what your lawyers have told you thus far?

There are not enough details here to do justice your question. I would suggest that you go to the

web and search for the Code of Va. i.e legl.state.va.us/000/scr Use that engine to find

Code Section on Divorce-"Equitable Distribution".

One of the factors in the court's final division of property in "ED" hearing is the "wasting of assets"

Re: Property Settlement

You should have an attorney representing you in this matter. Otherwise, I can plainly see from your questions, that you're very likely to end up on the short end of the marital assets, so to speak.
