ILLUSTRATIVE. New York divides marital property 'equitably,' weighing statutory factors — this is NOT a 50/50 rule and there is no formula. Characterizing assets as marital vs separate is itself contested. Not legal advice. This is an illustrative estimate for general informational purposes only. It is not legal, tax, or financial advice, it does not create an attorney–client relationship, and it is not a quote, promise, prediction, or guarantee of any benefit, amount, eligibility, deadline, or outcome. Figures are based on published government sources as of the date shown and change over time; results may not reflect current law or the facts of your situation. Do not rely on this tool — consult a licensed attorney before taking or refraining from any action.
