For instance, if you need to review some separation documents, a divorce lawyer\u00a0may be able to e-mail them to you securely and confidentially.Couples that split up will ultimately have to divide their property as well, and now there\u2019s an app that can apparently help with\u00a0asset division. A Santa Rosa, Calif., developer recently designed\u00a0iSplit Divorce, an application that claims to reduce the complicated process of splitting a couple\u2019s assets within the span of 30 minutes.Streamlining Asset Division Through TechnologyAccording to the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat, the app is similar to a video game, in that it assigns a value and icon to shared marital property that is then shifted around until a couple reaches an amicable settlement.Virtually anything can be divided on the app \u2013 cars, furniture, investments, mortgages and credit card debt. According to iSplit creator George Moskoff, the goal is to reach a 50\/50 split, the typical result of equitable distribution.Perhaps an app can provide convenience and a quick snapshot of the marital property. But it\u2019s probably not wise to\u00a0divide up your marital estate\u00a0on the basis of a smartphone app. The Raleigh family lawyers at Charles Ullman & Associates urge you to speak to an attorney before initiating a divorce or dividing assets. Technology can be a benefit or a curse, and it is not advisable to agree to anything when it comes to assets until you\u2019ve had a chance to understand how North Carolina\u2019s equitable distribution laws work.The Role of Technology in Family LawThat\u2019s not to say that apps aren\u2019t part of the future for family law. Attorneys, like nearly everybody else, are working hard to adapt their practices to the ever-changing online world. That includes cloud computing and countless other potential technologies that could permanently change how we practice law. Just remember that no system is flawless. A talk with a divorce lawyer can help you understand what your options are."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Splitting the Marital Property \u2013 There\u2019s an App for That?","item":"https:\/\/www.charlesullman.com\/splitting-the-marital-property-theres-an-app-for-that#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
