Property Division In A Massachusetts Divorce
Massachusetts follows the principle of equitable distribution. This means that marital property is divided in a fair and equitable manner. This is not necessarily equal. The goal is to achieve a reasonable distribution based on the case’s specific circumstances.
Not all property is subject to division. Marital property typically includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage. This is regardless of whose name is on the title or who incurred the debt.
Separate property, on the other hand, consists of assets and debts acquired before the marriage. This can be through inheritance, gifts, or purchases. Generally, separate property remains with the spouse who owns it.
What factors are considered when dividing assets?
Earning Capacity
Age And Health

Is Massachusetts a Community Property State?
