New Jersey uses equitable distribution to divide marital property at divorce. Courts consider each spouse’s income, contributions to the marriage, length of the marriage, and other factors — but “equitable” doesn’t mean equal. The process is governed by N.J.S.A. § 37:2-31 et seq., which gives courts a structured framework for evaluating the agreement. A prenup lets you define your own division rules in advance, removing uncertainty about how a court might split your assets.
