How Will Your Property Be Divided?

If you agree on an uncontested divorce or choose divorce mediation or the collaborative process, you and your spouse will have full power to decide how assets and property are divided. If you and your spouse cannot agree, then a judge may need to divide your property fairly in court. The judge will consider a number of factors to determine how property will be divided. Some considerations include when the property was acquired and the contributions each party made to the property. Marital property must be divided equitably, not necessarily equally.
Any property acquired before marriage may be considered separate property, safe from equitable distribution if certain requirements are met. All marital property is subject to equitable distribution in divorce. This means that any property or asset that was acquired during your marriage is subject to division. Eligible property and assets include:

  • Savings accounts

  • The house

  • Business assets and property

  • Pensions

  • Retirement accounts

  • Stocks and investments
