Inheritance and Divorce
My parents gave me money during my marriage; can I get that back in my divorce?
When going through a divorce, you will hear property described as “marital property” and “separate property.” When it comes to inheritance and divorce, it is certain you will have questions. Generally, marital property are assets that were acquired during the marriage. If the property is deemed marital property during a divorce, then it will be subject to division by the court. Separate property can include property you owned before the divorce or a gift/inheritance acquired during the marriage. If something is deemed your separate property, then it will not be subject to division by the divorce court.
