What To Expect When Dividing Marital Property
In Montana, courts do not automatically divide all of a couple’s property exactly in half. Instead, the court reviews each spouse’s financial needs and earning abilities to give them a fair – but not necessarily equal – portion of marital property. Aside from divorce litigation, however, you also have the option to mediate divorce to keep more control over who receives which asset.
Some of the types of property you may divide in divorce include:
- Shared savings, retirement and investment accounts
- Real estate property such as the family home
- Vehicles, collectables and special belongings
- Family business ownership
- Debts
Property division can be a long and complicated process. It is important to keep any property that you own individually separate from your divorce. In addition, the property you keep could have hidden costs or benefits for your future. We can give you a strategic legal perspective, whether you plan to go to divorce trial or mediation.
