division of assets
Splitting shared property
Division of assets is the process of splitting property and possessions between parties, typically during divorce or the dissolution of a business partnership.
Courts may order equitable division, which doesn't necessarily mean equal—factors like earning capacity, contributions, and future needs influence who gets what.
The division of assets took longer than the divorce itself.
