One of the most difficult aspects of finalizing a high-asset divorce is identifying and separating marital assets. Most simply, marital assets are things acquired during your marriage, from the day of your nuptials until your final divorce agreement. It sounds simple, but dividing marital assets quickly becomes complex as tax issues arise and couples realize that marital property law categorizes retirement pensions as shared assets.
Since New Mexico is a community property state, you may want to create a marital property agreement even if you are not yet married (prenuptial agreement) or do not see divorce anywhere on the horizon. You and your spouse may create a marital property agreement prior or after marriage.
