When a marriage ends, dividing property and assets becomes one of the most sensitive components of the divorce process.

Every case is prepared with attention to detail and a clear understanding of both legal principles and financial implications.

Why You Need a Property & Asset Division Lawyer in Delhi

Indian matrimonial law does not presume an automatic 50:50 split of property. The division depends on multiple factors such as contributions, documentation, ownership, child-related responsibilities and the financial circumstances of each spouse.

An experienced Property & Asset Division Lawyer in Delhi ensures that your contributions, both financial and non-financial, are accurately presented before the court or during settlement negotiations.

Courts typically consider factors such as:
• Duration of marriage
• Direct and indirect contributions by each spouse
• Homemaking contributions
• Income disparity
• Nature of the property (joint, individual, inherited)
• Source of funds used for purchase
• Welfare of children
• Existing liabilities

Because every family and financial background is unique, the legal approach must be customized to the situation.

Types of Assets Considered in a Divorce Settlement

1. Jointly Owned Property
   Joint assets purchased during the marriage using family income are often subject to division. Even if one spouse pays EMIs, the other may still hold equitable rights depending on contribution and usage.
2. Individually Owned Property
   Property registered in one spouse’s name but acquired during the marriage is evaluated to determine whether marital funds or indirect contributions were involved.
3. Stridhan
   Stridhan, which includes jewellery, gifts and valuables belonging exclusively to the wife, remains her absolute property. Courts enforce the return of stridhan even during disputes. We assist in both recovery and defense against inflated claims.
4. Inherited Property
   Inherited property is generally not divided unless mixed with marital funds or used as a family asset.
5. Business Assets
   If one or both spouses own a business, division may involve analysis of shareholding, valuation, revenue, profits and financial documents. Proper evaluation prevents unfair distribution.
6. Hidden or Undisclosed Assets
   Some spouses attempt to conceal bank accounts, investments, crypto holdings, benami assets or manipulate income records. We use legal discovery tools and financial tracing to uncover all assets.

Our Step-by-Step Approach to Property Division

1. Initial Consultation and Financial Mapping
   We assess all known assets, liabilities, incomes, property documents and financial records to develop a complete picture.
2. Identification of Marital Assets
   A detailed inventory is created for jointly and individually held assets, investments, vehicles, jewellery and business interests.
3. Assessing Financial and Non-Financial Contributions
   Courts also recognize non-monetary contributions such as childcare, household management and career sacrifices.
4. Strategic Settlement Negotiation
   Out-of-court settlements are often faster, private and financially efficient. Our negotiation strategy focuses on fairness while protecting your long-term interests.
5. Drafting of Legal Documents
   We prepare settlement agreements, consent terms, property division schedules and transfer deeds to ensure a clear and enforceable outcome.
6. Court Validation
   Once a settlement is finalized, it is presented before the court for approval, making it legally binding.

If settlement is not possible, we proceed with litigation and present a strong financial and legal argument to secure your rightful share.
