Maryland Property Distribution

When dividing property as part of a divorce, the court must first determine what property is marital property and what is non-marital property. This may be a complicated process and is dealt with by Maryland law. Generally, all property acquired by either spouse before the marriage is considered non-marital property. Property acquired after marriage is considered marital property and must be divided in an equitable manner.

Debt acquired during a marriage is also considered as marital property and must be dealt with during the divorce process as well.
