How Are Assets Divided In A Divorce In Minnesota?
Assets in a divorce can be either "marital" or "non-marital." Marital assets are divided equitably. This does not necessarily mean equally, although that is a common outcome. Non-marital assets are generally not divided, but are awarded to the party who owned it prior to the marriage (or inherited or received it as a gift during the marriage). It is possible for the court to divide non-marital property when necessary to avoid "undue hardship" to one of the parties.
