Many divorce cases end up resolving - either after trial or by negotiated agreement - with a 50/50 division of assets. Many times, this is the “right” result. But when should there be a disparate division of assets?An equitable division in a divorce is not always equal
Join our panel as we consider when an equitable division isn’t equal, what the court looks for, what the law says, and how to argue for a disparate division. In a legal landscape that sometimes seems to favor equal division, knowing when and how to advocate otherwise is critical for any family law practitioner.
