Michigan Law - What is "Separate Property?"

Separate property is any of the following:

• Property a party owned before marriage.
• Property a party acquired during the marriage by gift or inheritance.
• Income from either of these.
• Property acquired explicitly as separate property during the marriage.
• Post-separation earnings, gains, or winnings.

However, in Michigan, even separate property is available to be divided upon divorce, depending on the decision of the trial judge.
