marital
property is anything acquired during the
marriage and not received as a gift from
a third party other than your
spouse not received by inheritance and
not excluded by valid agreement like a
pre or postnuptial agreement so if it
falls into any of those exceptions then
it is non-marital prop property
otherwise if not if it’s acquired during
the marriage not by these other ways
then it is marital property regardless
of how it’s titled to one spouse or the
other or joint and it’s subject to
division under an equitable distribution
standard in Maryland which generally
means equal so Equitable generally means
equal unless the court thinks that
there’s some reason not to divide it
equally or the value of that property
equally
