What is the difference between a marital separation agreement and a marital settlement agreement?

A settlement agreement differs from a separation agreement as it sets the terms for the divorce, not the separation. A settlement agreement should address all central issues of the divorce. This can include things like division of marital assets and debts, child custody, and child support, as well as spousal support.

What is marital property in Delaware?

(c) All property acquired by either party subsequent to the marriage is presumed to be marital property regardless of whether title is held individually or by the parties in some form of co-ownership such as joint tenancy, tenancy in common or tenancy by the entirety.

Who gets the house in a divorce in Delaware?

Delaware divorce law requires the equitable sharing of all marital property. That means the court will examine a series of factors such as financial and domestic contributions, length of the marriage, and earning capacity, in determining how much marital property each party will retain.

Does the wife always get half the house?

No. There are two basic types of divorce laws in the United States: community property and equitable distribution. However, that 50/50 division is just a statement of what each party presumptively owns, not what an actual settlement will look like.

What are marital assets in Delaware?

Delaware, like most states, is an equitable distribution state. All property acquired during the marriage becomes marital property. Delaware courts divide the marital assets and debts equally between the spouses during a divorce or legal separation.
