Equitable Distribution of Marital Assets
Equitable Distribution of Marital Assets

What happens if only the husband or the wife was working during the marriage? 

Marriage is considered an economic partnership.  If one spouse did not bring in income, they still contributed something to the marriage, such as cooking, cleaning, child care, and companionship.      Remember, equitable does not mean equal - it means fair distribution.
