South Carolina Code Ann. §20-3-620 establishes equitable distribution with a starting presumption of equal division. Courts may adjust based on the length of the marriage, marital fault, contributions of each spouse, income and earning potential, marital misconduct, and other enumerated factors. Nonmarital property is excluded from equitable division and assigned to its owner.
