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.

Can non marital property become marital property?

If you mix separate and marital assets, all of those assets can become part of the marriage and (therefore) considered marital property. Heres how it works. Consider working with a financial advisor as you consider the impact of marriage on your assets.

How does non-marital property become marital property?

Since you have combined marital property (money earned during the marriage) with separate property (money earned before the marriage), all of that money becomes a marital asset. This is true for most types of fungible assets. For example, the same can be true if you merge an investment portfolio with your spouses.

What does it mean to transmute a property?

Generally, if you own a house before marriage, it is your separate property. The house would need to be titled in your name alone. If you add her name to the title, then it becomes a marital asset.

Is New Mexico a joint property state?

New Mexico is a community property state meaning that we look at the assets and the debts and allocate them in a way that makes sense to the parties and we try to divide the assets 50/50. It is also equitable distribution state though.
