WHAT HAPPENS TO JOINT PROPERTY?
During the course of a marriage, most couples accumulate many tangible assets, such as homes, cars, and bank accounts. Then there are the intangible assets, such as a college degree that was acquired during the marriage or retirement plans. When parties dissolve their marriage, the marital property must be fairly divided as well. Most property acquired during the marriage is considered marital property unless its:

• Premarital property, including assets or property acquired by one spouse before the marriage.
• Property excluded expressly by a prenuptial agreement, as long as the terms are valid and enforceable under current principles.
• Compensation for personal injury, meaning any proceeds derived by either spouse through the settlement or resolution of a personal injury suit.
• Inheritance by one party individually.
• Gifts given to one party individually.

There are some situations where an asset that was non-marital may become marital.

• Once separate assets may lose their "separate property" label if the asset has been improved significantly through the actions of either party during the marriage.
