Divorce Attorney Rockford IL What is Marital Property? As a general rule, any assets acquired by either spouse during the marriage are considered marital property during a dissolution proceeding and are subject to division by the court. Exceptions include assets received by gift or inheritance by a spouse during the marriage. Such gifts and inheritances are considered that party’s non-marital property and are not subject to division by the court during a divorce.
