marital asset vs. joint asset

All joint asset are marital asset, but not all marital asset are joint asset.

For example, a husband's 401K savings acquired during marriage is marital asset subject to division, but the account is husband only.

Joint asset:  assets that is titled to husband and wife jointly.
Marital asset:  asset acquired by either party during marriage.

In a venn diagram, marital asset is the bigger circle, within which lies the joint asset.

• 就是說婚前存的401k是丈夫個人的，婚後存的是兩人的，盡管賬戶是丈夫一個人的？ -cecillia- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/07/2015 postreply 10:27:02

• 婚後存的漲的，都是兩人的。 -檸檬椰子汁- ♂ (111 bytes) () 08/07/2015 postreply 10:29:39
