- An Equitable Distribution Claim is a legal action taken during divorce proceedings to determine the fair and equitable division of marital assets and debts between spouses. The goal is to distribute property in a manner that is just and reasonable, taking into account factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse's contributions, and their financial needs. It aims to ensure a fair division of assets and debts accrued during the marriage, which may include real estate, financial accounts, personal property, and more.
