Equitable distribution is the process by which all assets and debts of the marital unit are divided. As with alimony, the statutes that are relevant to equitable distribution contain a list of factors that the court is to consider when called upon to divide the assets of divorcing couples. Many times the contributions from both parties during the course of the marriage have been substantial and assets are therefore divided equally. However, there can be any number of situations where it would not be fair to divide either assets or debts 50/50. The attorneys at The Brown DePinto Law Firm are here to help you deal with these issues. Call today for an appointment.
