What assets cannot be split in a divorce?

There are no absolute restrictions in what assets can be included in achieving a divorce financial settlement. All assets are generally considered, but some assets may be treated differently.

A court has considerable discretion in determining how assets should be divided, as the goal is to achieve a fair outcome based on meeting the party’s needs.

Non-matrimonial assets are generally excluded from division UNLESS they are required to meet financial needs.

Personal items of little financial value are the least likely to be divided.
