Jarhead:
Yes, a divorce can happen without an equitable distribution, as long as the equitable distribution is finalized in a separation agreement prior to the divorce or the case is filed in court for an equitable distribution prior to court. If this sounds confusing, you may need to have the exact facts determined by an attorney and get specific advice. Thank you.
