Methodology

Equitable distribution

Minnesota divides marital property equitably, with courts presuming marital property should be divided equally but allowing deviation based on statutory factors.

Statutory Factors

The following factors are commonly evaluated under Minnesota 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

Minnesota follows equitable distribution under Minn. Stat. §518.58. Courts divide marital property in a just and equitable manner, considering the length of the marriage, prior marriages, contributions of each spouse including as homemaker, economic circumstances, and dissipation of marital assets. Non-marital property is generally assigned to the party who owns it.
