Dividing Your Property And Finances
North Carolina promotes equitable division of marital property. That means that if you get divorced in North Carolina, any assets or liabilities that are considered marital property are divided fairly, which does not necessarily mean 50-50.
We tell clients that the simplest way to handle property division -- including the house, retirement accounts, pensions, benefits, other assets, and debt -- is for you and your spouse to sit down together at the kitchen table and decide who gets what. Your decision can then go into your separation agreement.
If the two of you cannot agree, the court will divide your assets and liabilities. That might be a 50-50 split or an unequal distribution. The court has a fair amount of discretion and will factor in how long your marriage lasted, who has custody of the children and the income of each spouse. A judge may also consider the health and age of each spouse.
