Asset Division in New Jersey

In New Jersey, assets are divided using the equitable distribution method. This does not mean that property is distributed equally but that the court tries to distribute property as fairly as possible. The court will consider the separate property of each spouse (property acquired before and after the marriage, and property acquired through certain means while married) as well as the marital property when deciding what is most fair.

For example, separate property is not considered during division of the assets, but if one spouse has less separate property, the court may decide to grant more of the marital property to that person. Due to the complicated nature of asset division, it is wise to have an attorney to assist you during this process.
