Many people think  equitable distribution is another way of saying equal division, but New Jersey law does not actually call for a strict 50-50 split of all marital assets and marital property. That’s because judges must consider several factors to divide marital property.  Many times the issues surrounding property division can be resolved prior to divorce, in a property distribution  or property settlement agreement, decided through mediation or negotiation by the parties.  However, the basis of most settlement is “What would a judge to at a trial?” At our New Jersey Law Firm, we also consider the tax ramifications of property and asset transfers when seeking equitable distribution for our clients. An even 50-50 split of property may not be fair if the tax ramifications of the division unfairly fall on one spouse.
