Dividing Financial Assets After Divorce Can Be Tough
by Tom Doerr
When dividing financial assets after divorce, the spouses must exercise caution to ensure that what each person came with into the marriage is fairly divided amongst each. In order to avoid making the dissolving nasty, the two can discuss what each will get prior to heading to the court or can resolve their issues amicably.
In dividing property, two ways are used and these include equitable distribution which involves allocating the property between the two spouses; a method that is considered fair and reasonable by most legal experts. The individual who makes more money gets a bigger share of the property.
Most people head into marriage whilst having their own property such as wills, trusts and so are most likely to seek a separate distribution type of end to the marriage where the partners are each given what they came into the marriage with. Property that was acquired during the marriage is divided equally in what is known as community property divorces.
Spouses who make more than their partners may be responsible for paying debts of their other spouse. In some cases, the court can ask the higher earning spouse to let the other stay in the home they shared in the past and still pay the mortgage on it.
In addition to the bitterness and anger involved in ending a marriage, each partner gets whatever information they can to make their partner look bad which is the basis of an at-fault. While a no fault policy does not emphasize on the financial nature of the marriage.
It is difficult to know whether an individual marries another out of love or purely for the love of what they own. This is why a prenuptial contract is very popular these days as it protects the wealthier individual from losing all their property to a dishonest lover. If they were to marry and end up leaving the marriage, they would have to deal with dividing financial assets after divorce.
