Under Illinois law, marital property is anything that comes into the marriage during the marriage that is not by gift or inheritance. It does not matter in whose name the property is held. In Illinois, marital property will be divided and distributed between the parties by the court. Non-marital property is not divided but is awarded to the party that owns the property. Sometimes non-marital property (such as inheritance money) gets combined with marital assets and it is difficult to distinguish. An experienced divorce lawyer knows how to sort through a complex situation like this that could potentially put a client at risk of losing or gaining a lot of money.
