In this episode of Lawyers Without Billboards, your hosts from Shewmaker & Lewis—Steve, Patty, Jimmy, and Alexa—dive into one of the most misunderstood terms in family law: equitable division of property.
What does “equitable” actually mean in a Georgia divorce? Spoiler: it doesn’t always mean 50/50. With real courtroom insight and plenty of personality, the team breaks down:
- The difference between marital and separate property
- How titling and commingling can affect your claim
- Common myths like “I paid for it, so it’s mine”
- Why the date of divorce—not separation—matters in Georgia
- Real-life examples and case law like the Stokes and Shaw decisions
They even tackle quirky hypotheticals, military pensions, inheritances, and the dangers of not knowing your legal standing going into a marriage. Patty makes a confession, and there’s some fun banter, but this episode delivers serious clarity for anyone thinking about or going through a divorce in Georgia.
