Inheritance and commingling

Lori Nevias
Answered by attorney Lori Nevias
Divorce lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
Marital assets are subject to equitable distribution in a divorce, 50-50 under New York law. However, an inheritance such as the payout you received from your mother's insurance policy is not a marital asset- it is considered separate property. Therefore you are entitled to keep the full inheritance, with no need to split it and no set-off against other assets. You would be within your rights to take the full value of your inheritance and deposit it into a separate account.

There are a number of issues that need to be addressed; custody, support, maintenance and division of property which  includes his degrees/license.  I suggest you get your financial  documents in order and seek assistance from a qualified matrimonial attorney who practices in the county that you will most likely file the action.  However, one is hopeful, that issues can be resolved with a stipulation of settlement.
