Division of Property
When determining the division of property, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania follows an equitable division model. This means that in a divorce, all the spouses' marital property shall be distributed equitably after the court considers several factors, including:
- The length of the marriage
- The income, separate property, employability, and earning power of each party
- The contribution of either spouse to the education or increased earning power of the other party
- The contribution of either spouse in the marital property (including a non-monetary contribution as a homemaker, etc.)
- The standard of living before a divorce
- Any other factors of equity
Separate property of each party, which includes anything each party acquired before the marriage, property acquired in exchange for such property, and personal gifts and inheritances, is not subject to division.
