It is important to remember that equitable distribution does not always mean equal distribution when it comes to splitting assets and other property in a divorce. Oftentimes the court will determine that a 50/50 split is appropriate, but this is not always the case. They are trying to determine what is the fairest way to split everything, based on many factors, and so the split can sometimes look more like a 60/40 or 75/25, or really any split the court deems most equitable.
