What Is Equitable Distribution?

In the state of New York, equitable distribution is a term referring to the way property is divided in a divorce. Although the word equitable is used, property division is not always "equal" in terms of a 50/50 split but instead intended to be fair. Sometimes this may mean equal while other cases may involve more of a decision-making process in who gets what. Additionally, certain property may be excluded from equitable distribution, such as separate property that each spouse owned before they were wed.

There are many different factors which are taken into account by the court to determine who gets which assets and debts in a divorce proceeding. Our Poughkeepsie property division lawyers can help you establish what property is considered marital and what is considered separate.

A few of the factors considered during the property division process include:

  • If spousal maintenance or alimony was awarded
  • If the spouses share minor children
  • How long the marriage lasted
  • How much of the property is shared and what was owned prior to the marriage
