Marital agreements and property division Flashcard Deck - 8 Cards

Flashcard 1: What is the difference between mutation and transmutation in marital property law?

Answer: Mutation refers to a change in the form of an asset (e.g., selling stock and buying a bond). Transmutation refers to a change in the legal character of an asset (e.g., separate property becoming marital property, or vice versa).

Flashcard 2: What is the majority rule for enforcing a separation agreement incorporated into a dissolution decree?

Answer: Once incorporated into the decree, the agreement is generally enforceable as a court order, subject to modification rules applicable to the particular provision. Courts commonly distinguish modifiable support or custody terms from generally nonmodifiable property terms.

Flashcard 3: What is the primary analytical order when facts mention a premarital agreement and property owned before marriage?

Answer: First, analyze the agreement's scope and enforceability. Then, classify the property as separate or marital, accounting for any changes in form or character, before applying distribution rules.

Flashcard 4: What are the core tests for maintenance, custody, and child support?

Answer: Maintenance turns on need and ability to pay; custody turns on the child’s best interests; child support turns on guideline inputs and the child’s entitlement.

Flashcard 5: What is the purpose of a statutory separation period before dissolution?

Answer: A separation period requires the spouses to live apart for a specified time before a no-fault dissolution may be granted. The period and whether it may be waived are jurisdiction-specific.

Flashcard 6: What is the majority rule for no-fault dissolution?

Answer: The majority rule permits dissolution upon a showing that the marriage is irretrievably broken or that the parties have irreconcilable differences, without proving marital misconduct. Some jurisdictions require a separation period before granting the decree.

Flashcard 7: What is the difference between a legal separation and a dissolution of marriage?

Answer: A legal separation permits spouses to live apart under court-ordered terms but does not terminate the marital status. A dissolution (divorce) terminates the marriage and permits the parties to remarry.

Flashcard 8: What jurisdiction is generally required for a state to dissolve a marriage?

Answer: A court generally must have subject-matter jurisdiction based on domicile or statutory residency of at least one spouse, plus proper notice and an opportunity to be heard. The state need not have jurisdiction over both spouses to grant an in rem divorce.
