Dividing marital assets stands as one of the primary issues in divorce cases addressed by The Law Office of Paul L. Held. South Carolina law dictates that such materials go through equitable division instead of community property. This generally means that courts do not divide property equally between spouses, but rather that judges seek to give each spouse assets of comparable value. In his work with individuals seeking divorces, Paul Held reviews assets to ensure clients receive a fair and appropriate share of the marital property. Another aspect of Paul Held’s divorce cases includes the award of alimony to former spouses. South Carolina law utilizes six different types of alimony payments, as opposed to a singular formula-based system. Consequently, The Law Office of Paul L. Held reviews numerous aspects of a client’s marriage, including the length of the union, ages of the partners, standard of living, physical and mental limitations, and financial constraints. Through this review, Mr. Held can determine the type of alimony payment the client should pursue in divorce proceedings.
