Navigating Premarital Assets in a Fair Property Division

In the realm of equitable distribution, premarital property may be excluded from the marital estate.  Assets owned by either spouse before the marriage may be considered separate and not subject to division. However, if pre-marital assets increase in value during the marriage, that growth may be considered marital property. Understanding what property will be considered marital vs. one party’s separate estate, requires careful consideration by an experienced family law attorney. 

The Legal Framework of Property Division

Property division laws provide the framework for equitably dividing marital assets and debts, including considerations for property division after death.  Which rules to apply depends upon where you are in the divorce process, and whether or not divorce grounds have been established.  Where one party passes away before divorce grounds have been established, Estate Administration laws may be applied.  Where both spouses are living, or one spouse passes away after divorce grounds have been established, the Equitable Division statue will apply.  In Equitable Distribution, the court weighs many factors, including the length of the marriage, age, amount and sources of income of both parties, the value of separate property available to each spouse, and whether either party will be serving as custodian for minor children. These factors are carefully considered in dividing marital property fairly and equitably.

The Importance of Property Division Lawyers

Navigating the complexities of property division during a divorce requires the experience and expertise of a property division lawyer.  A lawyer plays a crucial role in:

• Ensuring fair treatment and accurate asset valuation
• Negotiating property settlement agreements
• Protecting clients' interests during divorce property division.

Finalizing a Property Division Agreement

A property division agreement, often referred to as a Marital Settlement Agreement or Property Settlement Agreement, is a legally binding document that outlines the division of assets and debts.  This agreement is a key part of completing the divorce process, and can be achieved by negotiation, or a court decision, if agreement is not possible. The property division agreement provides a roadmap for the family regarding when and how to divide marital property, and in what amounts.
