Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
In a divorce is the wife entitled to 50% of the appraised value or 50% of the equity of the family home?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The answer is "neither" - at least not necessarily. The net marital estate is typically equally divided between the spouses - NOT that each individual asset is equally divided between them. Obviously, there are many factors that come into play here, including the direct and indirect contributions to the accumulation of the marital estate.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
