How do you value a car in a divorce?
In community property states, judges generally divide the value of community property equally. So, for example, if a couple owns a car that has a Kelley Blue Book value (fair market value) of $5000, each spouse is entitled to 50% of the value of the car, or $2500.
How is divorce settlement calculated?
A fair settlement should first identify marital and separate property and address only how marital property is divided. You should also look at your state’s laws on how property is divided. States usually follow one of two ways to divide the property: 50/50 (community property states) or through equitable distribution.
Can I get a divorce without a property settlement?
Divorce and property settlement are not one and the same. Separated parties can have a property settlement without getting divorced and parties seeking to divorce do not necessarily have to have a property settlement. De facto couples have 24 months from the time of separation to institute Court proceedings.
Who is responsible for debt after divorce?
When you get a divorce, you are still responsible for any debt in your name. That means that if you and your spouse had a joint credit card, you are just as liable for that debt as your spouse. But the details of how that debt is handled can vary a bit depending on the state you live in.
