Divorce: Dividing Personal Property

Attorney Bonny Reiss

One of the issues that causes the most acrimony is personal property. Who’s going to get the china set, who's going to get the couch. And the best advise I can give you is don't get bogged down on that sort of thing.

What I try to tell clients is it's just stuff and it's certainly not worth spending hundreds of dollars an hour in counsel fees. The best solution that I can give you if you really can't agree is first go through the house together and each make a list of what you want. All the items that are on both lists should be the subject of a third list. Flip a coin and pick alternately until you're done.

To involve lawyers is to generally spend more than the value of all of the property, and it is really a waste of money. Think about what it would cost to go to a meeting with two lawyers for three hours and ask yourself couldn't that money be better spent sending the kids to camp or going on vacation.
