Prenup And Property Division

Summary

Prenuptial agreements can influence asset division. Wisconsin is a community property state, splitting assets 50/50, while Illinois and New Hampshire use equitable distribution, dividing assets fairly but not equally. The ruling state in a divorce is typically where you reside. Since you live in Illinois, its laws would generally apply. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.

So if we were married in Wisconsin is that the ruling state?
In divorce cases, the ruling state is typically where you reside, not necessarily where you were married. Since you live in Illinois, Illinois laws would generally apply. If you want more tailored advice or wish to be connected to a lawyer for assistance, let me know!
What about New Hampshire law?
New Hampshire is an equitable distribution state, similar to Illinois, meaning assets are divided fairly but not necessarily equally during a divorce. Prenuptial agreements can significantly influence this division. If you need detailed advice, consider consulting a local New Hampshire attorney.
