How Property Is Divided In An Ohio Divorce
Divorce can be an emotionally complex and challenging time, and it is necessary to make important, life-altering decisions during the process. One of these important decisions involves how to properly divide up the debts and assets between yourself and your spouse. Under Ohio law, items considered to be marital property should be divided in a fair and equitable manner.
What Is Considered "Marital Property"?
"Marital property" generally constitutes all property acquired during the course of the marriage with marital funds or marital effort, even if the property is titled to only one individual. Examples of non-marital property may include property that a spouse owned before the marriage, a gift or inheritance, and more.
