Preferred term

U.S. property division law  

Definition

  • The history of the division of property during divorce in the United States has had a trajectory of increasing equity of property division between spouses, regardless of fault leading to the divorce. Divorce law in the United States is one of the interesting areas of law in which the colonial origins of a territory still affect current law.
