Divorce - Equitable Distribution

Property/asset distribution

When parties get divorced in Virginia, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina or Maryland, the divorce proceedings end the commingling of assets by the parties. Generally, all assets accumulated and acquired during the marriage, are subject to a division between spouses, depending on the family laws of the state granting the divorce. In certain states, the property is divided equally between the divorcing parties. In other states, courts will divide the property at the end of the divorce via an equitable distribution. This "equitable distribution" does not necessarily mean "equal shares."

An equitable distribution award in family law may equate to equal shares or it may result in one party receiving a share of the assets that is more than the other party, based on a variety of factors - such as the duration of the marriage, positive or negative monetary and non-monetary contribution toward the acquisition and preservation of the assets, each parties' acts that resulted in the dissolution of the marriage, income, education, health, age, and so on.
