In some divorce cases, an agreement based on property and asset division
can be reached amicably by the divorcing couple through
mediation or
uncontested divorce, but in other cases, the details may have to be hashed out in a court of
law. All property in the state of Tennessee is considered communal property
if it has been obtained during the course of the marriage or during divorce
proceedings. If there are no prenuptial agreements, marital property may
be equally distributed between the couple. Equitable distribution is a
fair distribution of a couple's assets at value worth — not
necessarily in terms of numerical equality.
There are a few factors that a judge will consider when determining the
overall distribution of property, including:
- The amount of income that each party has
- The contribution that each spouse made during the course of the marriage
- The length of the marriage
- The age, health, skills and employment of all parties
- Children that may from the marriage
- Social Security benefits of each spouse
- The value of property in each of the spouse's names
