Pennsylvania uses an equitable distribution model where the court divides marital property  on a case-by-case basis. The court considers multiple factors, such as length of the marriage, spouses’ income and assets, and who is the children’s primary caregiver. Premarital agreements also affect the decision on how to divide a couple’s assets and marital estate.nnWhat’s important to note is that the division of property does not need to involve the court.
