When you break up with your significant other, you might worry about how you can get the property back that rightfully belongs to you. You fear the other person taking assets that you brought into the relationship and household and therefore have no legal right to them.
However, the other person may not listen to your claims of rightful ownership and threaten you with a charge of stealing. You can protect yourself legally and regain what belongs to you when you retain counsel like a Rolling Meadows asset division attorney.
Proving Ownership
When you have one of these attorneys on retainer, you may be able to prove ownership of the assets to which you have laid claim. The other person may not have receipts for these items. However, you might still have a record of purchasing or acquiring the items and therefore be able to prove you rightfully own them.
Reaching an Agreement
Your lawyer may also help you and the other person reach a settlement over what items are in dispute. You might decide to divide up the items equally or sell them off and split the dividends from the sale. Your lawyer may help you avoid having to risk going to jail or enduring a lengthy court trial.
