Divorce 101: A to Z - Letter E

In today’s Divorce 101 A to Z episode of Divorce Happens, Olivia Howell explains the meaning of equitable distribution, the system most states use to divide marital property during divorce. Brought to you by the letter E and the number 50, this short, accessible episode helps listeners understand why equitable does not always mean 50/50 — and why fairness is based on context, not simple math.

Listeners learn what counts as marital property, how courts determine a fair division, and why contributions like caregiving, homemaking, and career sacrifices matter. Olivia also shares a grounding action step that helps listeners begin organizing their financial picture with clarity and confidence.

This episode is ideal for anyone beginning the divorce process, preparing for mediation, or trying to understand property division in an equitable distribution state.
