property division
Dividing marital assets
Property division is the legal process of allocating assets and debts between spouses during divorce or separation.
Courts consider factors like marriage length, each spouse's contributions, and future earning capacity.
In community property states, marital assets are typically split equally; in equitable distribution states, the division aims for fairness rather than strict equality.
