What Can We Do If We Can’t Come to An Agreement on Separating Certain Assets?
If you cannot agree regarding the division of assets, getting a mediator involved is a logical next step. A mediator is a neutral third party who can help you come up with creative, “out of the box” solutions that a judge is unable to offer.
You can present the issue to the court, but the final decision is out of your hands once you put that issue in front of a judge. In most instances, you will reserve that option for your larger assets.
Wasting time and money fighting over small items of personal property that have little value is not a good use of your resources. For example, we once had a case where the spouses were arguing over who got to keep a pool cleaner worth less than a few hundred dollars. Such minor issues serve as a distraction from the more important ones. You should try and address issues involving smaller assets during mediation. But once the case is in front of the judge, the decision belongs solely to the judge.
