What Is Equitable Distribution in Georgia?
Georgia applies the rule of "equitable division" of marital property for property division. While this means that all property acquired during the marriage needs to be divided in a fair manner, it does not necessarily have to be divided equally.
- "Marital" property is both assets and debts that have been acquired during the length of the marriage.
- "Separate" property can include gifts, inheritances, property excluded by a prenuptial agreement.
If you are unable to reach an agreement with your spouse on property division, a judge may take into account various factors regarding your marriage and life circumstances in order to reach a decision. As you enter complex family law matters, be sure to work with an experienced professional who can help you seek an agreeable outcome.
