Property Division Under New Jersey Law
New Jersey divorce law divides marital property and debts using principles of equitable distribution. However, keep in mind that , equitable does not necessarily mean equal. Courts determine what is equitable by looking at a series of factors including years of marriage, interests in the marriage, and the income earning capacity of each party. Sometimes, determining "marital property" is a complicated task. Marital property does not include property owned before the marriage, property given as a gift to one spouse or inherited property. When property owned before the marriage - like a business or a home - grows during the marriage, it takes a skilled lawyer to help the courts divide the property appropriately according to your interests.
