Family laws guiding property division take current and future earnings into account when dividing up marital assets. Briefly explain

What will be an ideal response?


When negotiating a fair and equitable settlement, each spouse's current and future earnings are considered. This takes into account each spouse's level of education, his or her current earnings and earnings potential (a projection based on each spouse's physical and mental health and their current earnings trajectory). Judges often award a larger share of marital property to the spouse who earns the least and who has the lower earnings potential.
