In North Carolina the legal terminology for the division of the
parties’ property is called equitable distribution. Property is
categorized into “marital property”, “separate property” and “divisible
property. Martial property and debt is distributed between the parties
is based on the principal of equity.
Some of the factors the court considers in determine whether the
marital property should be distributed unequally are as follows:
- The income, property, and liabilities of each party.
- Support obligation arising out of a prior marriage.
- The duration of the marriage and the age and physical and mental health of both parties.
- The need of a parent with custody of a child or children of the marriage to occupy or own the marital residence and to use or own its household effects.
