The court will only divide marital assets when the parties are unable to reach a Marital Settlement Agreement. Alabama is an equitable distribution state. Property is distributed fairly according to the principles of equity for both civilian and military divorces. During this process, the parties go through a discovery process to determine whether property is separate or marital. Separate property is usually not subject to division. Common examples of separate property include gifts and inheritances. However, if separate gifts and inheritances were used during the marriage for the benefit of both parties, the court will likely consider it to be marital and subject to division. The court then assigns a monetary value to all the property and distributes it equitably. Marital debts are also equitably divided between each party.
Prenuptial agreements also play a role in the division of property following a divorce. Alabama recognizes validly executed prenuptial and postnuptial agreements if all requirements for a validly executed contract are met.
