Protecting Your Assets In Divorce

One of the more complicated issues in divorce is dividing the parties’ assets and debts. In Minnesota, marital property and debt are divided in an equitable manner upon divorce. Identifying nonmarital interests and determining the value of complex marital assets often require detailed analysis and nuanced legal arguments.

Nonmarital Tracing

While marital property is subject to division in divorce, nonmarital property remains the property of the original owner. Nonmarital tracing is the process of determining the nonmarital interest in marital property. For instance, if a person owned a house prior to the marriage, and during the course of the marriage sold the house and used the proceeds to buy a new house, he or she could claim some degree of nonmarital ownership in the new house. Nonmarital tracing is a complex and often contentious issue and should be handled by an attorney who is well-versed in Minnesota property division statutes and case law.
