Money Issues

Show Me the Money

Under Illinois Law all property acquired by either party subsequent to the marriage is marital property, except for certain property defined as non-marital property such as property acquired by gift, legacy or descent.

The threshold property analysis is, thus, to determine what assets make up the marital estate. The next step is to prove the value of the assets.
