Question from a reader:
I am currently in divorce mediation. I have hired a lawyer and we are progressing with financial arrangements regarding child support, children’s education expenses, property division, and claims for the division of marital expenses. My wife is currently repaying a mortgage on our house and wants to continue living there. She seems to be in a hurry

In the case of property division, who bears the burden of proof regarding whether retirement benefits received from parents are separate property or marital property? It would be helpful if you could also explain the reasons and basis for this.
Issues related to property division are an important theme that often arises in divorce or separation.
Question from a reader:
Please tell me about the division of shared property. Is it possible to leave part of it as shared? For example, when receiving a gift of shares, the gift tax can be high, so can I keep this share as shared and use it to receive a bequest at the time of inheritance?
