Property Division

PROPERTY DIVISION LAWYERS IN FLORIDA

We Have the Experience & Passion to Assert Your Rights

In Florida, the division of assets and debts at divorce proceedings is done through “equitable distribution”. This means that instead of a court assuming that a 50/50 split is fair, it will look at a wide range of factors to determine what would truly be a fair split.

At Ross and Andreassi, we have more than 40 combined years of experience to pour into your case. Learn how our Board Certified Marital and Family Law Specialist may be able to help you when you contact our divorce attorneys today!

How Equitable Distribution Works in Florida

In a divorce, marital assets are supposed to be distributed fairly, but simply deciding what is marital property and what is non-marital property is itself a considerable challenge. Then deciding who deserves what is often difficult, as anything from a business to keepsakes can make for a complex process. If a divorcing couple cannot agree on how they want to divide their property, a mediator or judge may need to become involved.

When a court gets involved in property division, what factors are involved in the final court order? Factors such as how long the marriage lasted, as well as how spouses supported one another in educational or career goals can be considered. It will count against spouses if they wastefully spent or ruined marital assets during the divorce or within the two years prior.

With the help of our skilled Florida divorce lawyers, you may be able to create your own property division settlement. If you and your spouse cannot agree on property division but want an amicable divorce, you may want to consider mediation. If you are headed toward a contested divorce, however, you will need a tenacious advocate at your side.
