What is “equitable distribution”?

Most states employ “equitable distribution” in dividing marital property as a result of the divorce. Instead of a strict fifty-fifty split equitable distribution looks at the financial situation that each spouse will be in after the termination of the marriage. While equitable distribution is more flexible, it is harder to predict the actual outcome, since the various factors are weighed.
