Negative Asset Cases
Definition:
A negative asset is a vehicle or real estate that loses value quicker than the time you pay off the loan. During a divorce, the real estate becomes community property, which means it is split equally. Negative assets are also split equally, depending on the terms of the divorce settlement.
Consequences of Negative Asset Cases:
Negative assets typically include cars, boats or real estate. It is important that a spouse decides if their spouse gets the assets and its debts or if selling the asset is best. If the asset is sold, a spouse can split the remaining debt.What a Lawyer can do for you:
