In Kansas, the Court exercises its discretion when dividing the net worth of the parties, and considers the following factors set forth by the Kansas Legislature:
1. Ages of the parties;
2. Duration of the marriage:
3. Property owned by the parties;
4. Present and future earnings;
5. Time, source, and manner of acquisition of property;
6. Family ties and obligations;
7. Allowance of disallowance of maintenance;
8. Dissipation of assets;
9. Tax consequences of division; and
10. Any other factors the court considers relevant and/or necessary to make an equitable division.
In Missouri, Courts must consider all of the following factors in determining a fair division of property:
1. The spouses' economic circumstances (meaning, their current finances and future prospects for income based on their ability to earn) at the time of the dissolution (divorce);
2. Whether and how much each spouse contributed to the acquisition of property;
3. The value of either spouse's non-marital property;
4. The spouses' behavior during the marriage (dissipation of marital assets); and
5. Custodial arrangements for any minor children.
