The distribution of angular momentum is investigated in "star-planet systems, taking due account of stellar evolution effects. Numerical simulation is carried out for 15 systems for which stellar rotation data are available. Consideration of changes in stellar structure is confirmed to be significant for the evolution of momentum distribution. A conclusion is drawn regarding reduction of dispersion for values of the ratio of the star's orbital angular momentum to its rotational angular momentum resulting from evolution.
