What happens to property that each person owned prior to the marriage?
In most instances the property that each spouse owned prior to their marriage, as well as property given to or inherited by one spouse during the marriage, usually remains that spouse’s separate property. Property may also be considered as a part of the total circumstances used to determine the fair allocation of the marital property.
