Pennsylvania Law - What is "Marital Property?"

In general, all property acquired during the marriage is marital property.

Examples: Marital property generally includes the following:

• A home if purchased with earnings of either or both parties during the marriage.
• A pension plan, to the extent accrued during the marriage.
• The value of bank accounts, mutual funds, etc., at least to the extent the funds deposited were earned by either party during the marriage.
• Increases in value of separate property that was brought into the marriage or acquired by gift or inheritance during the marriage. (This means, for example, interest on cash, and appreciation in stocks or real estate.)
