Property Division Attorneys Naperville IL

Our Naperville property division attorneys know that of all the aspects of a divorce, one of the most heated matters is working out an appropriate way to divide your marital property. Regardless of the duration of the marriage and how bad it was, it is imperative that both spouses get a fair share of the assets. However, determining an equitable settlement and finding the best way to split up the marital property and assets can be a daunting task.

Marital and Separate Property

In Illinois, marital property includes:

• Any property or asset purchased or acquired over the course of the marriage
• Any appreciation in the value of a separate property because of the contribution made by either or both spouses during their marriage
• Retirement benefits that are owned by one or both partners

Conversely, separate property includes:

• Any inheritance received by one spouse through a will, regardless of whether it is during the marriage
• Property or asset acquired before the marriage
• Assets gained in the form of gifts
• Compensation awarded to one spouse in a personal injury claim
• Appreciation in the value of any property in which the other spouse made no contribution during the marriage

Understanding whether the asset or property you have is marital or separate can be confusing at times, because of the intricacies involved in the determination of their nature. When you schedule a consultation with Keller Legal Services, you get to work with an experienced and supportive attorney who carefully listens to you and thoroughly studies the details of your case.
