It’s a possibility that you could get an unequal division of assets if there is proof that assets were hidden or liquidated. If your stbx admits to “malicious turning out of doors” or kicking you out, you can request divorce from bed & board and possibly stbx would have to leave the marital home. The judge can make a ruling to allow for a unequal division of assets due to marital misconduct also.
I know that mediation is mandatory in custody cases, but I’m not certain about ED…
Financial misconduct can have an impact on the distribution of property. You will be required to participate in mediation regarding the distribution of the property before the court will hear this matter.

Thank you for responding to the post and answering the question about financial misconduct Helena. I was wondering if you can answer the questions about being kicked out, adultery, and not allowing you back to the residence. I know that judges usually look over some marital misconducts in court cases such as adultery and minor misconducts. But say you have hard evidence on your STBX from recording and documants with what I mentioned above, realistically, how does mediators and judges look at the situation when it comes to ED?
The facts you described will not have an impact on ED unless you can prove that his misconduct had a financial impact on you. You will still be required to participate in mediation.

If your STBX admits kicking you out, having multiple affiar, liquidating and hiding assets, and not allowing you back to the marital home how does that affect the divorce case. Say if you have you STBX in a position of making them tell the truth because of evidence and witnesses. Does the judge still tell the couple to go to mediation and try to resolve it there? Or does he try to solve the matter by going by the state law of splitting everything 50/50. I know that NC is a no-fault state and ED is split 50/50, but concidering the circumstances, does the judge usually follow by rules and laws if marital misconduct is proven or admitted during the separation.
