About Us
We recognize that unexpected challenges can arise, and everyone deserves a second chance. At William Jackson Firm, our team of experts is here to assist you legally.
Once the fact that you are going through a divorce sinks in, some of your first questions will be: Who gets the house and who gets the car? What about those wedding gifts, or the wedding ring? Is the property that I had before we got married marital property? Who is responsible for our credit card debt? Who is going to be responsible for paying off our loans? What about our dog? What about my grandmother’s antiques and the art collection?
All of these questions boil down to the same idea: Who gets what? Your attorney at William Jackson will help you divide your property and debt through aggressive and skilled negotiations with your spouse and his/her attorney. The attorneys at William Jackson understand the challenges and complications that property and debt division can present and can help you through every step of the process.
