Protecting your finances is likely in the forefront of your mind if you recently decided to divorce. Divorce always brings financial challenges that can be further complicated by the emotions involved. If you are entering a divorce, it’s important to contact a divorce attorney who can help you inventory your assets and determine the best way to protect them.

Whether your divorce is contested or collaborative, we are Supreme Court Certified Family Law Specialists who will protect your interests every step of the way.
When you divorce in New Mexico, the Court divides marital property (also called community property) equally. Typically, marital property includes property acquired after the date of marriage, except for gifts and inheritances. If dividing assets sounds simple, it is not. During your marriage, you and your spouse likely mixed assets you owned prior to the marriage and you may also have increased the value of your assets.
When complex property division arises, you require finance protection from seasoned divorce attorneys. The attorneys at the Gentry Law Firm provide expertise in asset protection and property division, with years of experience focusing on high asset cases.
Our attorneys will assist you in discovering all of the marital property that should be divided, obtaining documentation from the other party and issuing subpoenas to banks and other financial institutions if necessary. After collecting the relevant information, we may conduct a deposition of the other party and any witnesses to capture your complete financial story.
As seasoned attorneys, we understand that settling your divorce through a mediation settlement should always be your first option. However, if an equitable settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case through the divorce litigation process to ensure your rights are protected.
Protecting your financial interests during divorce is a serious and complicated matter that should not be handled without an experienced divorce attorney in Albuquerque at your side.
