Maryland is an equitable distribution of marital property state, which means that marital property may not always be divided 50/50. Instead, Maryland courts strive to fairly, not necessarily equally, divide and distribute all marital property between spouses in an absolute divorce or legal separation.

What is Marital Property in Montgomery County, Maryland and Prince George’as County Maryland?

Marital property is any assets obtained during the marriage. It doesn’t matter who paid for the property or how the property is titled. Marital assets include real estate, cars, pensions, retirement assets, bank accounts, stocks, and other personal property. In Maryland, all assets obtained during the marriage may be subject to equitable distribution, unless it is found to be non-marital property.

What is Non-Marital Property in Prince George’s County, Maryland and Montgomery County, Maryland?

Non-marital property is any asset obtained prior to the marriage or any property obtained by a spouse during the marriage by gift or inheritance by a third party.

Unlike marital property, non-marital property is protected from the debts or liabilities of the other spouse. The owner of non-marital property can gift, sell, or transfer the non-marital property without the permission or knowledge of the other spouse.
During a divorce or legal separation, if a spouse decides to claim sole ownership of specific assets, the spouse must prove that the property is not marital property and prove that the asset is not subject to an agreement indicating joint ownership.

Equitable Distribution of Marital Property in Maryland?

When deciding the equitable distribution of marital property in Maryland, the court may consider the following factors:

  • Each spouse’s financial and non-financial contribution to the well-being of the family
  • The value of the property interests of each spouse
  • The economic circumstances of each spouse
  • The duration of the marriage
  • The age, health, mental, and physical condition of each spouse
  • How and when specific assets were acquired
  • The amount of effort each spouse expended in acquiring the asset
  • Whether the spouse has been awarded alimony or possession of the family home
  • Whether either spouse committed marital misconduct that contributed to the divorce or legal separation
  • Any other factors the court deems necessary or appropriate
