Re: something bought after sep. but before div.
Typically, items purchased after separation (especially after divorce) are considered to be non-marital, though there are exceptions. This is one of the reasons that the Court does not like to address the divorce and the financial issues at separate times.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
