New York is an equitable distribution state, leading courts to divide marital property in a fair manner. When dividing assets, judges consider many factors such as the income of each spouse and the length of the marriage. But the property accumulated before your marriage will always be yours.
Marital Property Gets Divided
In a divorce proceeding, only marital property is subject to being divided by courts or mediators. This is property acquired by either or both spouses during their marriage. Such property may include:
- A house, real estate, and investment property
- Retirement account assets from IRAs and 401(k) accounts
- A co-owned business
- Motor vehicles
- Other investments such as stocks and bonds
- Jewelry, collectibles, artwork
If you acquired these assets before your marriage, they remain yours. With more than 20 years of experience, our attorneys help you protect such assets. We understand family law.
