Equitable Division of Marital Property
Under New Jersey law, courts usually define marital property as property acquired by either or both spouses from the date of marriage to the filing of the divorce. Marital property can include many things, such as your home, bank accounts, cars, retirement savings and investments, among other things.
Depending on your situation, many factors can be relevant to the division and distribution of marital property in your divorce:
- The length of your marriage
- Any prior marriages for either you or your spouse
- Age, health and needs
- Income, vocational skills and employability
- Medical, retirement, insurance or other benefits
- Amount each spouse contributed to the value of the property
