Divorce and Musical Instruments

Divorce has helped countless people in difficult or failed marriages end that chapter in their lives and start again. If you and your spouse believe a divorce is right for you, there are a number of things you will have to consider. One of the foremost issues is what to do with your shared income and property. If you and your spouse are both musicians, determining what to do with your musical equipment can become a difficult process.

Although some musicians manage to get by with a single instrument, many musicians are prone to collecting numerous instruments, equipment, and accessories. It is not uncommon to overhear musicians lovingly discussing their newest piece of hardware. Over time, all of these acquisitions can add up to tens—or even hundreds—of thousands of dollars.

It is also not uncommon for married couples to own property together. By combining their incomes, married couples can sometimes afford things neither person could have acquired on their own. For most couples this means things like automobiles and houses, but musicians can become equally invested in their gear.

Getting a divorce means dividing your shared property, however, which poses a unique set of problems for married musicians. Questions of how to divide the property equally, whether or not to sell certain items, and so forth can become too much for some couples to handle.
