In this episode of The Difficult Divorce, host Anthony and Nevada family law attorney Molly Rosenblum sit down to unpack one of the most common and costly misconceptions in divorce: the belief that if an asset is in your name alone, it’s automatically protected.
In Nevada, that’s often not how it works.
The conversation breaks down:
- Why Nevada’s community property laws focus on the source of the money, not the name on the account
- How mortgage payments during marriage can create shared equity, even in a pre-marital home
- What the Malmquist calculation is and why it can dramatically impact home equity
- The “refinance trap” that can unintentionally convert separate property into community property
- Practical steps you can take now to protect inheritances, gifts, and pre-marital assets
This episode is especially important for business owners, long-time professionals, and anyone who brought significant assets into their marriage. Many people don’t realize they’ve been blending property for years until they’re already in the middle of litigation.
If you own a home, have savings in your name alone, or believe certain assets are “untouchable,” this episode will help you understand what Nevada courts actually look at and how documentation and strategy can make the difference.
Before assuming you’re protected, make sure you understand the rules of the game.
