A NOTE ABOUT MARITAL vs. NON -MARITAL ASSETS AND DEBTS
In the following table s you will be asked to distinguish marital property/debt from non -marital
(separate) property/debt. 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 proper ty 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 t he 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 avail able to you.
