Dividing Personal Property in High-Asset Divorce
In Pennsylvania divorce, all property and assets are divided according to the law of equitable distribution. This means that possessions and accounts are divided equally and fairly but not necessarily in a 50-50 fashion.
Equitable distribution applies to all property and assets, regardless of their value. However, all the effects must be properly valued to ensure fairness. This can be difficult when the personal property is of high net worth.
