Factors that Judges Consider When Dividing Marital Property

If a divorcing couple is unable to agree on a final decision in regards to the division of property or debts, the judge will make a decision by considering the following factors:

  • Each spouse’s power to earn income
  • The health of each spouse
  • The overall health of each party
  • The amount each party contributed to acquiring marital property
  • The amount each party contributed to the earning power and education of the other party
  • The value of each party’s separate property
  • The future monetary needs of each party
  • Premarital agreements

Separate Property vs. Marital Property

There is a difference between separate and marital properties. Separate properties are any that were gained prior to marriage or were acquired as a gift or by inheritance. Marital property is any asset that is acquired during the duration of marriage using shared funds. During the divorce process, marital property must be divided. In some instances, separate property is also divided if necessary.

Of course, property and debt division can be highly complex, especially if both or one spouse has acquired much debt or properties prior to or during the marriage. For this reason, it is wise for individuals considering divorce to contact legal representation right away. Failure to do so can lead one or both spouses to suffer monetary problems for the remainder of their lives.
