Property Subject to Division in a Divorce Case
Regarding the distribution of marital property during divorce, states typically fall into one of two categories: equitable distribution or community property states. Kansas follows equitable distribution, meaning that while a marital property divide may not be equal, it should be done fairly.
Marital property refers to assets and debt acquired during a marital union. Property acquired by either spouse before the couple married is typically considered separate property and is not covered by equitable distribution. An individual with assets before the marriage would retain the prior, separate property to themself.
Separate property can also include assets like gifts or inheritance money. However, separate property may become marital property during a marriage. Given that the state’s equitable distribution laws cover assets and debts that the divorcing couple accumulated while married, these procedures can encompass a wide range of property concerns.
Factors Impacting Property Division
Aside from determining which assets and debts are marital or separate, various factors affect property division during divorce, including:
- The age of each spouse
- The length of the marital union
- The financial situation of each spouse
- The potential earning power of each spouse moving forward
- The custodial arrangement is involved if the divorcing parties share minor children
- Any action by either party during the marriage that changed the value of the assets or debts at stake
A knowledgeable lawyer could help someone navigate the property division process in Lincoln County while ensuring that all relevant factors are raised in these proceedings, whether at the negotiation table or in court.
