We understood it before marriage as non matrimonial was what we held before marriage separately. When We married what we then purchased etc was matrimonial.
Hubby has a large inheritance which was prior marriage, so non matrimonial assets.
However, now we're married it shades grey.
I would now think as you both, as I do with my husband, gain from living together, all assetts are joint. The longer we're together the stronger that becomes.
Yes my husband owns another property but he lives in mine, allowing him to rent his out. We both gain by paying one set of bills.
We looked into this greatly before we married, hence the pre-nup, but basically consider on divorce it's 50:50.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0 -

Well I am confused. In the link below (sorry, it is not allowing me to post the link) it states that non marital asset can be property purchased before the marriage took place and that in order to protect my asset I have to keep it separate. This I believe I have done.What Are Marital and Non-Marital Assets?
If you have assets that you owned before the marriage, such as money or property that you have inherited, payouts from personal injury awards or other legal settlements, or gifts that you receive during the marriage that were not intended as ‘family’ gifts, these are non-marital assets. For example, you as an individual inherit a painting that you then sell at auction. If you deposit the proceeds into a joint bank account, or spend some or all of the money on your spouse or joint assets, this property then becomes marital property. There are ways to identify and track liquidated non-marital assets, but these procedures are seldom straightforward.
How to Protect Your Assets
In order to protect your non-marital assets from being counted as marital, always remember to keep them separate. If you are not yet married, consider talking to your future spouse about the assets that you both have and what you both intend to keep as your own. Although it’s not exactly romantic, it can help to avoid considerable emotional wrangling and bitterness in the future if the marriage fails.0 -

Actually, it says "property that you have inherited"

You have not kept it separate. Despite your best intentions it's not.
You used income you earned during your marriage to pay for and maintain your investment.
The quoted material is correct. Inherited property can be ring fenced and as the last few words say "these procedures are seldom straight forward".:footie:Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)

No, it doesn't try reading it again.
You didn't inherit your property, you bought it.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
