Generally, any money earned before you got married will not be divided when you get divorced. Property division can be highly complicated if your individual assets, including retirement benefits, were commingled during your marriage. Any assets acquired during your marriage could be subject to an equitable distribution. This does not necessarily mean a 50-50 split. One spouse, for example, could maintain a greater share of the retirement benefits while the other spouse may keep other property equaling the same value. Property division is based on guidelines, but divorcing parties can reach settlements outside of the guidelines. Factors such as a disparity in health, employment history and child custody issues can complicate high-asset divorces, making it important to work with an experienced lawyer.
