What does the term equitable distribution mean?
Equitable Distribution is the legal term for division of marital assets and marital debts as part of a Pennsylvania divorce action. In Pennsylvania, marital assets and debts are those assets or debts acquired from the date of marriage to the date of separation except those assets and debts that are excluded by a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement or because they were acquired by gift from someone other than the spouse or through inheritance. In addition, a marital asset includes the appreciation of a pre-marital asset through the length of the marriage. To schedule a consultation regarding your family law matter, contact us at Randi J.
