Statutory Definition of Equitable Distribution for International Assets in Warren County
Virginia is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily 50/50. Under Va. Code § 20-107.3 (personally amended by Mr. Sris), the court considers 11 factors when dividing assets, including overseas property. Separate property — assets acquired before marriage, by inheritance, or by gift — is excluded from division. For international assets, the court must determine whether the property is marital or separate, and if marital, how to equitably divide it across borders. The statute grants the court authority to consider foreign real estate, bank accounts, business interests, and retirement accounts held abroad. An International Assets Divorce Lawyer Warren County understands how these laws apply to your specific situation.
