Marital Property Division Lawyer In New York
Its up to an individual state to set rules about property division in a divorce. In New York you must evaluate whether each asset qualifies as “separate property” or “marital property”; separate property, belongs to just one of the parties, and in New York, separate property can be qualified as such even while a person is married.
For example: money received from an inheritance, personal injury settlement, is considered separate property. Anything gained during the period of marriage that can not be credited solely to one spouse is considered marital property, and must be divided equitably.
