Re: student loan repayment
Generally assets that are acquired between date of marriage and date of separation are marital (there are some exceptions). But debts acquired between DOM and DOS are presumed to be separate. A student loan is generally treated as a separate debt BUT funds paid in excess of tuition and fees as a refund that were used for family purposes could be treated as marital.
