What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
My husband and I are not getting divorced! We had a discussion this morning about Savings since we have been married 5.5 yrs. and debated so I told him i would post the question so find out the answer.
He comes into the marriage with $100,000 and it's in a random bank in a savings account.
During the entire marriage, he has had direct deposit of his paycheck into this same savings account where he has his prior $ sitting.
So, the hypothetical question is based on his discussion/debate this morning...
He thinks that if he spent the $100,000 on "whatever" during the marriage .... and saves $100,000 of direct deposit paychecks ... one will cancel out the other and the $100,000 he has saved during the marriage is off the table because it replaces the money he had before he married me. I told him that was not correct.....
Who's right, who's wrong.
