1) Equitable Distribution

Everything does not get divided equally among the two parties
Assets that are acquired during the course of a marriage are considered to be marital assets
If you receive a gift or inheritance during the marriage, it will not qualify for Equitable Distribution
A home, personal property, investments, and savings accounts will split these between the parties during a divorce
Pensions, 401k plans, and retirement benefits entitles you to a percentage of these assets, depending on how long you were married, and how long you were involved in the investment
The division of assets can typically be worked through between the two parties rather easily

2) Grounds For Divorce

Your attorney can get a party divorced, based on the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage
One member of the party has to indicate that the marriage has been irretrievably broken for at least 6 months
Fault will only be a factor in your divorce under extreme conditions

3) No-Fault Divorce

The grounds for divorce are primarily Irretrievable Breakdown of Marriage.
One of the parties must believe that the marriage was broken at least 6 months prior to the proceedings.
In short term marriages, another form of divorce will most likely need to be used.

4) Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is often a much cheaper form of divorce.
In an uncontested divorce, the parties are able to communicate with one another, in terms of separating their assets.
These agreements can be documented in writing to be used at a later time.
