Questions You Want Answered > Property Division in Divorce > What happens to my retirement?
In Maryland, the accumulation of retirement assets during marriage is made possible by the joint efforts of both spouses., no matter if only one of the spouses is working outside the home. Therefore, to the extent that retirement assets are earned during the marriage, they are marital property and may be divided equitably. In Maryland, the court has the power to order a portion of the retirement account or pension itself to be transferred by court order.
