Property Division in a High-Asset Divorce

The first step in understanding property division in a high-asset divorce is to understand what the court considers marital property. Under Missouri law, the marital property encompasses all property acquired during the marriage by either spouse.

However, there are important exclusions to marital property that include:

  • Gifts, bequests, devises, or descents
  • Property acquired in exchange for gifts, bequests, devises, descents, or property acquired prior to the marriage
  • Property acquired by either spouse through a legal separation order
  • Property expressly excluded through a valid, written agreement entered into between parties
  • Property that was acquired prior to the marriage
  • Any increase in the value of property acquired prior to the marriage UNLESS such increase was due to any marital assets such as labor

After classifying property as non-marital or marital, the court looks at several factors when dividing marital property.

These include:

  • Economic circumstances and contribution to the acquisition of marital property by each spouse
  • The value of each spouse's non-marital property
  • Conduct and behavior of each spouse during the marriage
  • Child custody arrangements, if applicable
