Marital vs. Non-Marital Property

Marital vs. Non-Marital Property

Marital property is acquired by either spouse individually or jointly during the marriage, which begins on the date the parties were married and generally ends when one party files for divorce.

Non-marital property includes assets brought into the marriage by either spouse, as well as property inherited or gifted to a spouse during the marriage. For inherited or gifted assets to be considered non-marital property, they must have been kept separate and not commingled in the family or joint assets.
