Divorce and Furniture

Furnishing a new home can be very expensive. Thus, when you divorce and are looking to create your own home, you may want ownership of your favorite bookcase, the king-sized mattress, or the glass-top dining room table from your old home. Unfortunately, your ex-spouse may be eying the same pieces of furniture. It can be a challenge to fairly divide your joint furnishings, but it is an important part of any divorce process.

The Oceanside divorce attorneys of Fischer & Van Thiel have years of experience with this and other property division issues. Contact us at 760-722-7646 to schedule a consultation regarding your divorce proceedings.

The Ownership of Furniture After a Divorce

When spouses decide to separate, they must make many decisions about their joint property. The furniture in a home may be valued at tens of thousands of dollars. Understandably, spouses often disagree as to who will receive ownership of this furniture. A divorce lawyer can help you consider many aspects of this decision, such as:

• The value of the furniture

• Each spouse’s level of interest in the furniture

• Plans to use, move, or sell the furniture

Determining the ownership of highly valued joint assets is one of the major goals of the divorce process. A lawyer can help see that your interests are fully and fairly represented at this difficult time.
