New York Property Division
New York Domestic Relations Law §236(B) provides a comprehensive equitable distribution framework. Courts consider the income and property of each party at the time of marriage and divorce, duration of the marriage, age and health of parties, loss of inheritance and pension rights, maintenance awards, contributions as spouse and homemaker, career sacrifice, liquid vs. non-liquid assets, tax consequences, and any other relevant factor. Marital fault is generally not considered.
