Marital property is obtained after the marriage began, and separate property includes assets that were obtained before the marriage or as gifts to one party during the marriage. Some examples of marital property include: - Retirement funds - 401(k)s - Vehicles - Family home Value will then be assigned to the marital property so that it can be distributed in a fair manner. In most cases, fault will not be taken into consideration during the distribution of assets. Our experienced divorce lawyers in Long Island can stand by your side during this process to ensure that your rights are protected. ![divorce separation](https://www.divorcefirmlongisland.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/divorce-separation.jpg?width=921&height=484&name=divorce-separation.jpg) ### Divorce Attorney Can Safeguard Your Rights in Nassau County When determining the fair distribution of assets and debts during a divorce case, the court will take into consideration various factors.
