Are IRA's considered joint property and would therefore be
an asset that would be equally divided if it were set up after a mariage began?

Re: Retirement funds
All income and property acquired during a marriage is rebuttably presumed to be marital property, and is subject to equal division during a divorce. The only way that an IRA could be considered sepaprate property is if the money used to fund it comes from a separate (premarital) source.
