Each state in the country has their own property division laws and they are usually 1 of 2 types: community property & equitable distribution. The state of Maryland is an equitable distribution state. Equitable distribution, property division and asset division is the process of dividing property rights and obligations between spouses during divorce proceedings. Property division can be agreed upon between the spouses through a property settlement, or it may be decided in court during the judicial process of divorce.
As Maryland is an equitable distribution state, only property acquired during the course of the marriage is subject to division in divorce proceedings. Some factors considered by Maryland family law courts in a property division case include non-monetary contributions and a list of other factors defined in Maryland law. Some of these factors may be financial or time contribution to the business and financial misconduct by either spouse.
