What happens to wealth acquired before marriage in the case of divorce?
Marriage and divorce are governed by the laws in each jurisdiction and those laws vary. Property acquired prior to marriage does not normally become community property in a community property state. The laws in separate property states allow married people to hold property separately. However, there are extraordinary circumstances that may affect marital distribution in the case of a divorce in both systems. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your jurisdiction prior to marriage.

What are you legally entitled to when getting divorced?
Depending on which state you live in, the answer varies. In some states, marital property is considered to be "community property" which means that the couple shares the ownership equally in any property acquired after the marriage, with the exception of gifts and inheritances to an individual spouse.In other states, marital property is divided according to "equitable property" law, which means that the judge starts out with the assumption of a 50/50 split, then looks at each person's circumstances (such as their ability to work and earn a living, their contribution to the assets acquired during the marriage, etc.) and adjusts the numbers accordingly. Thus in an equitable property division it is probable that the spouse who contributed more or who will require more to survive may receive more property in the settlement than the other spouse.Any property that each of you already owned before the marriage (such as your own car, your jewelry, retirement accounts, etc.) are not considered part of the marital property to be divided. You can look up whether your state is a community property state or a equitable property state online. The bottom line is that you are only due half (maximum) of the value of property acquired after you married in the divorce settlement. Other financial considerations such as child support or alimony are separate matters to the property issue.For a more accurate answer you need to consult with a divorce attorney in your jurisdiction.
In non -community property states how is property transferred after a marriage ends in divorce?
This will depend on the laws in the jurisdiction in which the divorce is taking place. However, in many jurisdictions such as in New Jersey, property is divided according to a concept called "equitable distribution". This means that in the divorce action the court will look at the marital property and the history of the marriage and divide the property so that it is equitable to both parties. The major factor is the roles each spouse played in the marriage in acquiring the marital property. A woman who was the housewife of the husband who brought in all the money will still be entitled equitable distribution since her contributions to the marriage as a housewife were just as important as his as the main earner.
If a business is started by one spouse during a marriage is the other spouse entitled to part of that business if the marriage ends in divorce?
It depends on various factors, including the jurisdiction where the divorce is filed. In some jurisdictions, the other spouse may be entitled to a portion of the business's value if it is considered marital property. However, this can also depend on the specific circumstances and contributions of each spouse to the business during the marriage. It is recommended to consult with a family law attorney to understand the laws and rights applicable in your specific situation.
