Assets are split in an LG divorce first upon a consideration whether there has been a prenuptial agreement. If there’s a prenuptial agreement then assets my be split according to the terms of that agreement. If not, then the court is going to apply the same standards as it would to a heterosexual marriage which is the court will presume that there should be a 50/50 split of all marital assets and liabilities. Marital assets and liabilities are generally those which occur from the day you say, “I do,” when you marry until the filing of a petition for divorce at the clerk of court’s office.
