Simply put, in Missouri, marital
property is property that is acquired during the marriage and non-marital
property is property acquired before the marriage. However, for every rule,
there are exceptions. This rule has anumber of exceptions, some obvious
and others not so obvious. The emphasis here however, will be about how marital
property is decided in the court of law in Missouri. For
many rules of law, there are statutory presumptions, which are default rules
about what happens absent any evidence to the contrary. |
