Dividing Property in a Divorce

N.D.C.C. § 14-05-24 — an equitable division of property and debts, valued sixty days before trial unless agreed

  • When a divorce is granted, the court makes an equitable distribution of the parties' property and debts.
  • Property and debt are valued on a date the parties agree, or otherwise sixty days before the first scheduled trial date.
  • A large change in value before trial lets the court adjust, with findings that another date is fair.
  • Property or debts a party failed to disclose can be redistributed after judgment.
