Before You Divide Assets: Key Factors That Shape Your Financial Future

When people begin dividing assets during divorce, the first instinct is to list what exists: the home, retirement accounts, vehicles, savings, personal property, and anything else that falls into the marital estate.
The process seems straightforward at first.
Then the questions begin.

Which assets matter most long-term?
What carries sentiment?
What has financial weight?
What will increase in value, and what will cost more to maintain?

These questions are not just logistical.
They shape your financial future.
