Equitable Division of Assets: Determined by Many Factors
Factors that are carefully considered by the court in an agreement of equitable division of the marital estate include individual circumstances of the parties such as the following:
- Age
- Health
- Station in life
- Occupation
- Vocational skills
- Employability
- Estate liabilities
- Needs of the parties
- Opportunity for future acquisition of assets
- Amounts and sources of income
- Conduct of the parties during the marriage
- Contribution to acquisition, preservation, or value of the parties' estate
- Contributions to home and child care
Special Circumstances • Length of Marriage
Special circumstances such as the needs of a handicapped child, or poor health of one spouse or the other, may indicate a need for an adjustment in what is usually considered an equitable distribution of a marital estate.
The length of a marriage is also a consideration in Massachusetts when divorce courts look at property distribution agreements. A short-term marriage, an intermediate marriage, and a long-term marriage each has a different result in spouses' assets and needs.
