For many clients, the decision to divorce may be impacted by the potential effects of a property settlement agreement. In New Jersey, all marital property is subject to division on an equitable basis. However, even non-marital property that one spouse brings into the marriage may be subject to equitable division in certain cases. For example, if one spouse places inherited funds into a joint account that is shared with the other spouse, those funds may become subject to equitable division as marital property. An experienced divorce lawyer can help you evaluate your specific circumstances to determine whether your pre-marital property will be divided.
