The Partition of Properties

In each divorce, a judge will partition a couple's conjugal property and debts between the spouses. In same-sex couples who have cohabited before marriage became legal, the date of the wedding may come up with an unfair settlement between spouses.

For instance, in some states, a judge will divide the marital couple's property equitably or fairly between each spouse. Conjugal property is one that is acquired by either spouse in the wedding, but you will question if you were not legally married and this is so because you did not have the option the moment your spouse bought the camper with a tax refund.
