Does the amount in one spouse's savings account get divided equally in a divorce? and got a better answer

Response from
Yes, if the ownership of the property is legal, that is, they did not make a prenuptial agreement. Money no matter whose account it is, too, is property. But this is the general rule. Another thing is if the money is someone else's gift or inheritance, which must be proved, then it is not divided. Or if it was there before the marriage. Or if the owner of the account can prove that the opponent wasn't working as a deadbeat, and didn't increase the family property - then they also can't divide it.

If before marriage he had the amount there - then it is his property, after the day of marriage - it is divided in half.

Can your questions about seizing the account and this one be combined? In your case, you need to look at when the account was opened and where the money comes from. If the money is part of the joint property then to spend money from the account must be the consent of the spouse account can be frozen until the end of the divorce process. If you want to write to e-mail or in agent in more detail describe the situation. Good luck!
