Equitable Distribution is the “formal” term to describe the process of dividing marital and non-marital assets and liabilities (debts) of the parties. The Court strives to create an equal distribution between the parties, unless there is a justification for an unequal distribution.
In awarding an unequal distribution of assets and liabilities, the Court considers the following:
While this is not an exhaustive list, the Court may consider the answers to the inquiries above. To avoid leaving distribution of marital assets and liabilities in the hands of a Judge, parties may enter into a stipulation or agreement at any time.
Should the parties be unable to reach an agreement on equitable distribution, the Court must make specific findings of fact based on competent, substantial evidence, considering the answers to the inquiries discussed above.
