A couple divorces in North Dakota after a 15-year marriage. The court must divide the marital estate. North Dakota is an equitable-distribution state that applies the Ruff-Fischer guidelines. This means the court will:

Divide all property exactly 50/50 in every case Divide the marital property equitably (not necessarily equally), considering factors such as the parties' ages, earning ability, conduct, and contributions, and treating all assets — including premarital and inherited property — as part of the divisible estate Award all property to the spouse who holds legal title Apply community-property rules dividing only income earned during the marriage

Correct Answer:

Divide the marital property equitably (not necessarily equally), considering factors such as the parties' ages, earning ability, conduct, and contributions, and treating all assets — including premarital and inherited property — as part of the divisible estate
