What You Built Still Matters

You’ve worked hard to create stability — saving, planning, and making decisions for your family’s future. As your marriage comes to an end, it’s normal to feel uncertain about how property and debts will be divided.

You may have concerns about accounts you didn’t manage, assets you weren’t fully aware of, or financial decisions you weren’t directly involved in. You may also wonder how time spent supporting your household, stepping back from work, or serving as the primary caretaker will be considered now.

It’s natural to ask: “How do I make sure the division is fair?”

What’s at Stake:

Without clear guidance:

Property and debt decisions may not fully reflect your contributions or long-term needs.

With clear guidance:

You can work toward a fair division that protects your assets and supports your financial future.

Clear Guidance Through Property Division

Property division involves important financial decisions. Having clear information and steady guidance makes all the difference.

At Valor Divorce Firm, we help you understand what’s fair, what matters most, and what comes next. We explain how North Carolina law divides marital and separate property, and we guide you through identifying assets, addressing debts, and reaching a resolution — whether through negotiation or court.

 

Our goal is simple: to help you divide property thoughtfully and move forward with confidence in your financial future.

What We Help You With in Property Division

We identify and classify your assets — from homes and vehicles to retirement accounts and investments — ensuring that everything acquired during the marriage is divided fairly under North Carolina law.
We help you safeguard what’s truly yours, including inheritances, gifts, and assets acquired before marriage, so they stay protected through the property settlement process.
Our experience extends to business ownership, real estate portfolios, and investment accounts. We coordinate with financial experts to ensure your long-term security.
Debt division is as critical as asset division. We make sure shared liabilities are handled with transparency and fairness so you aren’t left paying for what isn’t yours.
Whether you reach agreement through mediation or need a judicial decision, we develop clear, strategic pathways that protect your interests and minimize conflict.

Meet Your Guide:
Latrice Knighton, Esq.

When I went through my own divorce, I didn’t just face the end of a marriage — I faced uncertainty about everything I had worked hard to build. I remember sitting at my kitchen table, surrounded by bills and questions I didn’t yet have answers to. I knew no one should have to navigate that moment alone.

That experience became the foundation of Valor Divorce Firm.

Over more than 15 years, I’ve helped hundreds of clients navigate property division with clarity and strategy. I’ve seen how overwhelming it can feel when homes, savings, and long-term security are on the line. My focus is simple: helping you understand your options and protect what you’ve built.

With the right guidance, you can move forward informed and prepared — and leave your marriage with a fair share of property division.

Frequently Asked Questions About Property Division Cases

North Carolina follows equitable distribution laws, which means assets and debts are divided fairly — not necessarily equally. A judge considers factors like income, contributions, and future needs to determine what’s fair.
Anything acquired during the marriage — including homes, cars, savings, and retirement accounts — is typically considered marital property. Separate property, such as gifts or inheritances, generally stays with the original owner.
Yes. Separate property acquired before the marriage or protected by a prenuptial agreement usually remains yours, though you must document it clearly.
Our attorneys will help you uncover, evaluate, and document all marital assets to ensure full financial transparency during property settlement negotiations.
Not always. Many couples reach fair agreements through mediation. However, if your spouse refuses to cooperate, we’ll represent you in court to protect what’s rightfully yours.
Just like assets, debts are divided fairly. We’ll help ensure you aren’t left responsible for loans or credit cards that aren’t yours.
