How Is The Division Of Your Marital Assets and Debts Determined?

Hawaii is an equitable division state, which means that most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are subject to division between the spouses, regardless of which spouse acquired the property or whose name is on it. Exceptions include gifts and inheritances received during the marriage.

If you and your spouse can agree on how to divide your marital assets and debts, the Hawaii Family Court Judge will usually approve the agreement. However, if you and your spouse cannot agree on the terms of your divorce, then the Court will make the division for you. The Court will divide marital assets and debts based on equity, or fairness, not necessary equally, although in most cases the Court decides that it is equitable to divide all marital assets and debts equally. In dividing marital assets and debts, the Court will consider various factors, including:

• The length of your marriage
• Your and your spouse’s post-marriage employability and earnings
• You and your spouse’s status regarding health and education
• You and your spouse’s economic and non-economic contributions during the marriage
• Where the children will be residing after the marriage
• A spouse’s dissipation of assets during the marriage

We provide sound and compassionate counsel regarding the full range of divorce matters, including child custody and support.
