Thus, said the judge, and by reference to White v White [2001] 1 AC 596, [2001] 1 All ER 1, «each party has contributed equally to the marriage» But for the séparation de biens
marital property agreement, the judge took the view that he was «satisfied that, applying s 25
of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (MCA 1973), giving first consideration to the welfare while minors
of the three minor children and applying the checklist in s 25 (2), this would undoubtedly be a case for
equal division of the
assets».
There are two key concepts for
asset division: 1) defining what exactly is (and isn't)
marital; and, 2) noting Georgia does not require an
equal division of property.
