What is "Marital Property?"

In most states, all property purchased, earned, or won during the marriage is marital property.

Marital property generally includes the following:

  • A home if purchased with earnings of either or both parties, if earned 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.
  • Bank accounts from before the marriage that, upon marriage, were re-titled to joint names.
  • A home purchased before the marriage that, during the marriage, was re-titled to joint names.
