Methodology

Equitable distribution

Arkansas divides marital property equitably, with courts considering the length of the marriage, contributions of each party, and economic circumstances. The division need not be equal but must be fair.

Statutory Factors

The following factors are commonly evaluated under Arkansas law:

  1. Duration of the marriage
  2. Income and liabilities of each spouse
  3. Contributions to the marriage including homemaking
  4. Future earning capacity
  5. Tax consequences
  6. Waste or dissipation of marital assets
  7. Custodial needs
  8. Any other factors for fairness
