At Nina P. Scopetti Attorney At Law, we are highly knowledgeable in all areas of divorce, including property division. Our practiced attorney can ensure you are fully aware of your rights and the most effective steps you can take to protect your property in Columbus, OH.
Understanding Marital vs. Separate Property in OH Divorces
Marital property is typically divided equally. Marital property consists primarily of assets and debts acquired during the marriage, regardless of which spouse holds the title to the property.
Non-marital property is property which is usually not subject to division, and includes property owned prior to the marriage, items which were acquired as a gift or inheritance. This separate property can include real estate, pensions, interest acquired on separate property, property excluded specifically through a marital agreement, inheritance, and gifts given to only one spouse.
Characterizing, tracing, and valuing property can be quite complex, but our Columbus property division attorney can help identify separate and marital property before the division process begins.
When decisions are made about property division, a few considerations are kept in mind, including:
- Whether the property is marital or separate, or a combination of both
- Whether the spouse claiming a separate property interest can “trace” the property
- Which party will be paying the debts
- Whether the property can be divided or whether it should be sold
- Which party will maintain the real estate

“Thank you, Nina!”
Goodness where do I begin! I previously made a review before about not being able to get into contact with Nina. I had not known that she had fallen ill before I placed the review. But now that she has been back, we have been in contact and she has been a TREMENDOUS help in my divorce. She has been honest and forthcoming. She has been my advocate. She has stood her ground when she needed to. She has been flexible with me. I could not have asked for someone better to help me as we go through this process! Thank you, Nina!- Casey L. -

I cannot say enough good things about Nina! What an amazing attorney and even better person. She represented me in a custody issue and she was always upfront with what to expect and what the outcome would mostly be and she was 100% correct. I got the feeling very early on that she truly cares about her clients and any kids involved and only wanted what was best for us. Again, what a wonderful person and an amazing attorney! Thank you so much again Nina (and Beth too!)- Brian F. -
