Dividing Marital Property and Debts in a Pennsylvania Divorce

Pennsylvania follows an Equitable Distribution standard of dividing marital assets and debts in Divorce. This means that the courts are focused on establishing a Property Division order that is fair, not necessarily equal (or 50/50 split). When issues of Property Division cannot be resolved through an agreement, Pennsylvania family courts will review a number of factors in order to determine what is fair (equitable).

Factors considered can include issues ranging from the length of the marriage and the marital standard of living during the marriage, to the specific contributions each party has made to the marriage. Our knowledge of how the court frequently views certain factors can be advantageous in negotiating a fair Property Division agreement that preserves your interests.
