Definition During the Marriage - the duration of the marriage for purposes of property division.

Application in Divorce In the classification of assets for purposes of distribution, courts need a date after which property is no longer subject to distribution. This date varies by jurisdiction. Some use the DOD, which is the date of divorce; some, the DOS, which is the date of permanent separation; others, the date of filing.

The date of classification can make a big difference. Salary received after this date is separate property. Bonuses generally are not (if the are given for performance during the marriage).

See DOS; DOD.
