Understanding Distributive Awards in a Divorce

Distributive awards play an important role in achieving fair financial outcomes during a divorce. Unlike direct division of marital property, a distributive award is a monetary payment ordered by the court to help balance the overall distribution of assets when an equal split isn’t practical or possible. This may occur when one spouse keeps a significant asset—such as a business, real estate, or valuable personal property—and the other spouse receives compensation to ensure fairness. Our family law attorney can help clients understand how distributive awards are calculated, what factors courts consider, and how these awards may impact long-term financial security. Whether negotiating a settlement or preparing for litigation, legal guidance is essential for protecting your rights and ensuring that any distributive award reflects the true value of the marital estate.


We understand these issues are complicated and you may be unaware of your rights. Our family law attorneys work hard to provide the desired outcome you are looking for. Contact us today to set up a consultation and speak with a knowledgeable and trusted divorce lawyer, prenup lawyer, spousal support lawyer, or child custody lawyer.
