Divorce and Distribution of Assets in New Jersey

One of the biggest issues in a divorce is the equitable distribution of assets. New Jersey is an equitable distribution state, which means that, in New Jersey, marital property is not automatically divided on an equal 50/50 basis. New Jersey law provides that marital assets should be divided fairly, but not always equally.
