Assets divided during divorce
When you are considering divorce, division of your marital assets likely weighs heavily on your mind. The court will attempt to equitably divide the following assets:
- Primary residence
- Vacation homes
- Pensions or retirement accounts
- 401K accounts
- Military retirement benefits
- Joint accounts
If you have been married for a short period of time, it is likely that the court will put both parties back into the position they were in before the marriage.
For longer marriages, the court evaluates a number of factors to determine who should get the property after divorce. The factors used by Massachusetts help the court determine how the marital assets should be divided.
