How Is Marital Property Divided In Virginia?

Every divorce includes the division of marital property. The first step in approaching property division is to identify the separate property of each spouse. Such possessions will normally remain with the original owner. As for jointly held marital property, the division will not necessarily be on a 50-50 basis but rather will be determined based on factors such as:

  • The existence and enforceability of a prenuptial agreement
  • Each spouse’s contributions to the monetary and nonmonetary welfare of the family
  • The age and health of each spouse and the duration of the marriage
  • The acquisition history and tax implications of a proposed division of liquid and nonliquid marital property
  • Debts and liabilities that each spouse incurred
  • Domestic abuse, adultery and/or dissipation of marital assets

If children of the marriage will continue to live in the marital home after the divorce, this fact may influence a court’s view of a proposed division of that property.
