What is dissipation of assets?

« Back to FAQ's

Once the marriage undergoes a breakdown, a spouse who gives property away (even to a child or parent), uses property for a purpose unrelated to the marriage, or for an improper purpose, is said to have dissipated the estate. A party who dissipates will be called to account for the property when the marital estate is divided.
