In a divorce, you must consider how property and debts will be divided, and who will pay spousal support. If you have children from the marriage, you’ll also need to make decisions about child custody, visitation, and support. Both spouses must either work out these three big issues or turn them over to a judge to decide.

The collection of assets you and your spouse have gathered during your marriage, including money, real estate, investments, pension plans, and so on is referred to as marital property. Marital debts include obligations you took on together during your married life. Both the property and the debts belong to both spouses and part of the divorce process will be to divide them up between the two spouses.

Assets or debts that either spouse had before your marriage, or acquired after the permanent separation, are considered separate property or debts. Generally, each spouse will keep their separate property and be responsible for their separate debts. If both spouses can agree on how to divide marital property, the court will simply approve agreement. If the spouses can’t agree, the court will divide the property.
