Identifying and Valuing Marital Property

While the law itself is relatively straightforward regarding marital and separate assets, the actual property division process presents many challenges. Major problems include the identification of marital property and its valuation.

Generally speaking, marital property includes all assets that were acquired by the parties during their marriage to each other. Separate property on the other hand is the property a spouse brought into the marriage, or which is otherwise exempt from the marital estate, such as an inheritance or a gift just meant for one spouse.
