Dividing Property
Mo. Rev. Stat. § 452.330 — marital property divided as the court finds just
- Each spouse's economic circumstances, including whether to award the family home to the spouse with custody.
- Each spouse's contribution to acquiring the marital property, including as a homemaker.
- The value of the nonmarital property set apart to each.
- The conduct of the parties during the marriage.
- Custody arrangements for minor children.
A Missouri court sets apart each spouse's nonmarital property and divides the marital property weighing all relevant factors, including those. Property acquired during the marriage is marital except, among other things, property received by gift or inheritance, or acquired in exchange for property owned before the marriage.
