Keeping What Is Yours In Your Divorce

Going through a divorce means you will eventually have to address the issue of splitting marital property. While Michigan courts attempt to split these assets, retirement accounts, real estate, vehicles and other applicable properties in a fair manner, it may not mean that you will keep the particular assets you are hoping to.

Protect What Is Yours

Not all of the assets you have will be on the chopping block in your divorce. The assets you had before marriage that are not also in your spouse’s name, including real estate, vehicles, and retirement accounts, are individual assets. The assets you acquired during your marriage are known as “marital assets” and are subject to the division process, with some exceptions. Common forms of marital assets that are excused from this division include inheritances and gifts that a spouse receives while married.
