Best Answer

Most states require that assets which were acquired during a marriage by the joint efforts of the couple be split equally because both contributed to building up the assets. Even if one earned more than the other, perhaps the lower earner gave up opportunities to support the career of the higher earner.

Assets which either of them possessed before their marriage, or which they directly inherited, are not split between the parties.

It depends on the circumstances but generally speaking, alimony cannot be added after the divorce is finalized, even where spousal support was not discussed at all in the settlement. This is because the divorce decree is considered final, not only as to the issues actually addressed, but for all issues that could have been addressed in court. Courts generally lose the power to award alimony once they have determined that they will not award any.
