Fair division based on multiple statutory factors
Fair division based on multiple statutory factors
Illinois divides marital property 'equitably' - meaning fairly, but not necessarily equally. Courts consider multiple factors under 750 ILCS 5/503 to determine a fair division. Separate property (premarital, inherited, or gifted) typically remains with the original owner.
How Illinois Divides Property
Marital vs. Separate Property
Marital Property (Subject to Division)
- Family home and real estate
- Retirement accounts (401k, IRA, pension)
- Bank accounts and investments
- Vehicles
- Business interests
- Stock options
Separate Property (Generally Not Divided)
- Property owned before marriage
- Inheritances (if kept separate)
- Gifts to one spouse
- Property excluded by prenuptial agreement
- Property acquired after legal separation
Separate property can become marital property if it's commingled with marital assets (e.g., depositing an inheritance into a joint account).
Illinois-Specific Rules
- Equitable distribution - fair but not necessarily equal
- Only marital property is divided (not separate property)
- Premarital assets remain separate if kept separate
- Inheritances and gifts typically remain separate
- Increase in value of separate property may be marital
- Dissipation claims can affect division
