What Is Marital Property?

Marital property is property that is acquired during a marriage. It may be a home, a car, or even debt. Anything that was acquired during a marriage is considered the property of both spouses and should be distributed evenly between the two. This also applies to debts.

What Is Separate Property?

Separate property is something that belonged to the spouse before the marriage. It may be a car that one spouse owned and brought into a marriage, or it could be credit card debt that the spouse possessed before marriage. Separate property is often awarded to the spouse it belonged to before the marriage.
