Marital property/debt will be divided between you and your spouse as part of the divorce; non-marital property/debt usually will not be divided (depending on the situation). The general rule is that marital property and debt is any property or debt acquired during the marriage for the benefit of the marriage, regardless of who paid for it or whose name is on it. However, just because a party acquired property before marriage does not necessarily mean that it won’t be considered marital property. A spouse's premarital separate property can become marital when a married couple demonstrates an intent, through their words or actions during marriage, to treat one spouse's separate property as marital property. Gifts and inheritances are generally separate property, although gifts for the benefit of the marriage, such as a dishwasher, may be considered marital property. "During the marriage" generally means from the time of marriage until the time of separation. People often dispute what property/debt is marital or how long the marriage lasted. When this happens, you are urged to consult with an attorney to learn about the various legal arguments that may be available to you.
