Yes, generally, all money and assets earned or acquired by either spouse during the marriage are considered marital property, regardless of whose name is on the account or title, and are subject to division in a divorce, though states differ on how (equitably or equally). Key exceptions are assets like gifts or inheritances received by one spouse alone, and premarital property, but these can become marital if commingled.
What's typically included as marital property:
Income: Wages, salaries, bonuses, and other earnings from work.
Investments: Stocks, bank accounts, retirement funds (401(k)s, IRAs) built during the marriage.
Physical Assets: Homes, vehicles, furniture, and household goods purchased during the marriage.
Debts: Mortgages, loans, or credit card debt incurred while married.
