Re: What happens to property owned by husband & wife in the event of divorce?
That is a loaded question because it depends on many factors such as; was the property purchased during the marriage; given by will; real property or personal property. The bottom line is this - If the property, regardless of the type of property, was purchased during the marriage, it is considered marital property and must be divided and not necessarily 50/50. The division also depends on many factors. Review my web page for a more detail dicussion on this topic. www.attorney-4u.com
