OCCUPATIONAL RENT COMPENSATION ISSUES – Session 1 overview
Liza Bakhshi, BA, JD, 11:00am - 12:30pm

What is Occupational Rent?

You’re likely to encounter this conversation with clients frequently even though it is not awarded every time.
Because calculations are not regularly required it’s even more important to know what to do when the request for occupational rent does comes up.

It can be a significant element in the division of matrimonial assets.
Does one spouse benefit unfairly from their exclusive use of the matrimonial home? What do you do with these cases?
How is balance achieved?

For accurate analysis of financial documents, it’s within the financial neutral’s purview to do the necessary calculations for negotiation purposes.
Learn about exclusive possession orders and sole occupancy rights.

This session covers clients who may request compensation for having to live outside of the home, when their spouse remains in the family home.

Learn when it applies and how the courts deal with it for jointly owned properties.
