What does equitable distribution mean?
Equitable distribution basically is the process as to how marital assets will be distributed. The distribution of marital assets is always very hotly contested and emotionally charged. In many cases, the parties actually become violent when they try to reach an agreement as to how to split up the marital assets. The main theory of equitable distribution is that a marriage is an economic partnership. Therefore, each spouse is entitled to a share of the marital property.
