A: It is wise for you to make an appointment to consult with an experience family law and divorce attorney. Generally speaking anything earned during the marriage is considered marital property. Despite the fact that she may not have contributed to the account, the fact that you own an account between the dates of your marriage technically characterize that account is marital. However an experienced divorce attorney like us could assist you in strategizing how to maintain that asset as your own (for instance if you’ve been economically independent for the entirety of the marriage).
