Florida Property Division Attorneys
In Florida, property division is handled under the principles of a legal concept known as "equitable distribution." In basic terms, this means that the marital assets and debts that have been acquired or incurred during the marriage by either spouse will be divided fairly, but not necessarily equally.
Unequal Distribution of Assets/Dissipation of Assets
While courts start with the presumption that assets will be divided equally, under certain circumstances) courts a disproportionate share of the marital assets. We can help determine if an unequal distribution is possible, and make sure that the decision of the court or your agreement is legally enforceable.
Courts don't have to decide property division issues. You can do it yourself. We can help. Talk to us about seeking a marital settlement agreement outside of court, through negotiation or mediation.
