What should I know about equitable distribution when dividing marital assets in NC?
In North Carolina, marital assets are divided using a process called equitable distribution — meaning “fair,” not necessarily “equal.”
The court looks at factors like each spouse’s income, contributions to the marriage, and future needs. Property acquired during the marriage is usually considered marital, even if it’s only in one person’s name.
If you’re dividing assets, don’t forget about retirement accounts, real estate, and debts — those count, too.
Having an experienced family law attorney ensures your financial future is protected and that nothing slips through the cracks.
