Understanding How Property Is Divided in New Jersey

Property falls into two categories: separate property and marital property.

Property that a spouse owns prior to the marriage is separate property, provided it has not been co-mingled with marital property. Inheritances received during the marriage are also considered separate property.

The vast majority of assets accumulated during the marriage are considered marital property and subject to the rules of equitable distribution.

Equitable distribution means fair distribution, but not necessarily equal distribution. In some cases, assets may be divided in half. In others, a different balance may be reached.

Property distribution factors considered in the process include:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The age and health of the spouses
  • The income and earning capacity of the spouses
  • The standard of living established during the marriage

We also have the skill to deal with the more uncommon issues, including those that come with high-asset divorce cases. We can address typical concerns, like the family home and car, as well as retirement plans and pension division, and dividing business interests, which requires that close attention be paid to the issue of business valuation.
