I have valuables such as jewelry, a car and family antiques I brought to the marriage – what happens to these in the divorce?

Answer

In general, assets acquired before the marriage are non-marital property and stay with the original owner.  However, in certain situations, assets acquired before the marriage may become marital property and are then subject to being divided by a court.
