i filed for divorce some time ago and we are now in the equitable distrabution phase. i move out of the marital home, where my wife lives. I've paid the mortage on the home for over a year until i lost my job. the home has over 400k of equity. she is asking for the home and 2 year of alamony plus 30k to compensate for the morgate payments she has made since i lost my job and stopped making the payments. how equitable is this request, will the court indorse it? I think giving her the house withe its 400k in equity should be enough.
In Virginia, equitable distribution doesn't always mean equal; it means fair. Courts consider various factors, including:
