3. If I Owned It Before Marriage, Then It is Mine Forever
It may sound unfair, but it is an absolute fact: property owned by a party before marriage is not
excluded from consideration, valuation, and sharing.
Except in a case where the assets of one party were excluded beforehand by a premarital
agreement, all the assets owned by both parties, gotten individually or jointly, are placed on the
table for sharing.
Final Word—How NOT To Be Caught Unawares
For you to avoid any surprises, it is best to get the help of a professional and experienced
property division lawyer—who will go ahead of you to do all the necessary research and
findings—so, you can be adequately defended in court and get your desired assets.
