The Pennsylvania Reformed Divorce Code: Equitable Distribution of Marital Property

Authors

Deborah Candace Phillips

Abstract

In 1980, the Pennsylvania state legislature adopted the reformed Divorce Code, which provides for no-fault grounds for divorce, the award of alimony after divorce and the distribution of marital property. The author explores the provisions of the Code allowing for the distribution of marital property. The author surveys recent decisions arising under the equitable distribution provisions and attempts to bring some continuity to this quickly developing area of Pennsylvania's divorce law.
