Atlanta, Georgia Equitable Partition Attorneys
Rubin Family Law helps Atlanta-area clients resolve property disputes between unmarried co-owners through equitable partition. When relationships end but joint ownership remains, we guide you through Georgia’s legal process to ensure your financial and legal interests are fully protected. Count on Rubin Family Law for strategic, fair, and results-driven representation.
When unmarried individuals purchase property together and the relationship dissolves, the legal question becomes: how do we fairly divide what we own? In Georgia, equitable partition is the legal process used to resolve these disputes and separate interests in jointly owned real estate. Rubin Family Law provides skilled representation in partition actions, helping clients in Atlanta, Georgia and beyond unwind co-ownership in a way that is legally sound, financially fair, and strategically guided.
Why Do I Need an Equitable Partition Attorney?
Property disputes between unmarried co-owners can quickly become contentious. Unlike divorcing spouses, co-owners in a partition action do not have the benefit of family court’s broader powers or frameworks. Instead, the process is technical, grounded in real estate law, and often involves high financial stakes.
An attorney helps by:
- Determining and advocating for your share of the property’s value
- Documenting your financial and non-financial contributions
- Negotiating or litigating to resolve disagreements about value, division, or sale
- Ensuring compliance with Georgia’s legal procedures for partitioning property
Without experienced counsel, you risk walking away with less than your fair share—or becoming entangled in a drawn-out dispute that could have been avoided.
Do not navigate a tricky breakup alone. Let us help.
Why Should I Choose a Rubin Family Law Attorney?
Experience with Complex Financial and Property Disputes
We bring deep experience in untangling shared ownership arrangements between non-married partners, particularly when emotions, unequal contributions, or unclear agreements complicate the process.
Focused on Equitable Outcomes
We are not just interested in dividing assets—we are focused on ensuring that your contributions to the property are fully recognized, whether that means a higher financial return, retention of ownership, or favorable sale terms.
Prepared to Litigate When Necessary
While we aim for negotiated resolutions, we are fully prepared to represent your interests in court if agreement is not possible. Our litigators know how to make a compelling case for equitable division.
What to Expect When You Call Us
If you are considering or facing a partition action, here is how we will approach your case:
Initial Consultation
We will begin by reviewing your situation—how the property was acquired, the nature of your relationship with the other party, and your goals moving forward.
Evidence and Documentation Review
We will examine financial records, deeds, mortgage documents, renovation costs, and any communications that help clarify ownership interests.
Filing the Petition or Responding to One
If you are initiating the partition, we will prepare and file the appropriate petition in Superior Court. If you have been served, we will craft a strategy for defending your interests.
Negotiation or Litigation
We will work toward a resolution—through agreement or court order—that protects your investment and facilitates a clean break from the co-ownership arrangement.
Protect your investment during a difficult situation.

Your Atlanta Equitable Division Attorney Answers Your Questions
How is property divided in a partition case?
Property is typically sold and the proceeds divided, but if one party wants to retain it, the court may award it to that person with compensation to the other.
What if the parties cannot agree on how to divide the property?
The court will make the decision, often ordering a sale and division of proceeds based on each party’s financial contributions.
What legal steps are involved?
Filing a partition petition, serving notice to the other party, presenting evidence of contributions, and either negotiating or proceeding to a judicial resolution.
Issues Clients Often Do Not Anticipate
Many clients are unaware of the complexity of equitable partition litigation until they are in it. For example, they may not realize how critical it is to document their financial contributions—down payments, mortgage payments, renovations, or maintenance. Nor do many consider the cost and time involved in court-ordered property appraisals or sales. We help you account for every dollar and protect your share.
Protect Your Property Rights with Confidence
If your co-ownership arrangement has ended but the title remains shared, do not wait for the situation to worsen. Rubin Family Law will advocate for a division that is fair, thorough, and financially appropriate for your contributions. Let us help you resolve your property dispute with clarity and strength.
