Equitable Property Division in Missouri
In the state of Missouri, property and assets are divided by the court according to equitable distribution. This equitable distribution, however, is not necessarily a 50/50 division, as the Courts of Missouri take several factors into consideration, including:
- Economic circumstances of each spouse
- How much each spouse contributed to the acquisition of property
- Estimated value of each spouse's non-marital property
- Conduct of each spouse during the marriage
- Custody and visitation rights
There are many types of assets which can be difficult to properly evaluate and divide. These include retirement assets, such as 401(k)s and IRAs, as well as debts and business assets. Separating marital property and separate property can also be difficult and contentious. It is important to have an advocate on your side to protect your rights and ensure that your marital assets are divided in as fair a manner as possible.
