Equitable Distribution in Asheville is the process of dividing the property and debts of a marriage. Attorney Shannan Barclay Tuorto can help you determine which property you are entitled to as part of your divorce, and assist in negotiating an agreement outside of court. Agreements made outside of court allow for input from both parties and are generally more flexibility than a court ordered division of property.
In many relationships, one spouse may be dependent on the other for financial support. In North Carolina, there are two types of spousal support: Postseparation Support and Alimony. Postseparation Support is temporary spousal support intended to provide support for the dependent spouse until a final decision is made about property distribution and permanent alimony.

The person that answered the phone was friendly. The price for a consultation was a little expensive for the service I needed. So, I decided to go with another attorney

I was incredibly impressed with Shannan's professionalism. From the moment I sat down for my first meeting with her, I felt confidant that I had chosen the right team of people to handle my legal needs. Everyone in the office was respectful, responsive, professional, and helpful. Highly recommend. As a side note, I felt that everyone was very efficient and did what was needed in a very timely manner - they respected my time.

Shannan (Mrs. Tuorto) helped us through a very difficult custody case. The case was conducted in three separate states. Court was heard in Asheville, NC., I live in Georgia, and my ex-wife is in Oklahoma. Shannan and her team provided very personal assistance and excellent legal advice, coordinating and guiding me through my custody battle. I can only thank her and her team. I regard Shannan with the highest esteem and gratitude. If you wish to talk with me directly or have any questions concerning the Tuorto Family Law Firm , please contact the Law Firm and they can put you in contact with me

I came to this law firm in December of 2015 after discovering that my then husband had been cheating on me for twenty-five of our twenty-eight years of marriage. I knew I needed to end the marriage, but had no clue how I would do so and survive financially. Needless to say, I was terrified.
I was given Shannan’s name by a friend of mine who is a lawyer. I found Shannan and her staff to not only be knowledgeable about the law, but emotionally supportive as well. From the moment we talked, I felt a confidence that far exceeded my expectations. Shannan listened, gave me her best advice, and then
