Frequently Asked Questions
What is equitable distribution?
New York follows equitable distribution, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily 50/50. Courts consider many factors including length of marriage, each spouse's income, and contributions to the marriage.
Is my inheritance considered marital property?
Generally, inheritances are considered separate property if kept separate. However, if inheritance funds are commingled with marital assets, they may become marital property subject to division.
How are retirement accounts divided?
Retirement accounts accumulated during marriage are typically divided through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), which allows transfer without early withdrawal penalties.
