Equitable Distribution in Florida
Florida subscribes to the equitable distribution of marital property and debts in divorce. This does not mean a 50-50 split but a division that the court deems fair when reviewing the financial and marital evidence. Courts will look at many factors when making a determination.
The first step in deciding this issue is to distinguish marital property from separate property. Separate property is anything that was acquired prior to the marriage or that was inherited or received as a gift during the marriage.
Marital property is all the property acquired during the marriage, including:
- Homes
- Other real estate
- Vehicles
- Savings
- Stocks and bonds
- Businesses
- Other investments
- Debts
Marital property must be located and appraised or valued and a decision must be made about its liquidation or division.
Factors that can impact this issue include:
- How long the couple has been married
- Each party’s financial condition
- Each spouse’s domestic and financial contributions to the marriage
- Whether a spouse has contributed to the other’s spouse’s earning ability via education or training
- Whether either spouse has squandered assets during the previous two years prior to the divorce action
- Whether there is a prenuptial agreement
- Whether a spouse is going to receive alimony

"Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable."
Attorney Hamilton is one of the best out there, I was previously taken advantage of by one of the best known big box law firms in Orlando so at my wits end when I came to her.

"They make people feel comfortable, they don't judge."First I wanna say thank you to God for being the leader in my case. Since the first day I called to have information, the receptionist had helped me professionally. On the same day, I went there for a consultation, I liked it and would most definitely refer or advise others to go there, too. They make people feel comfortable, they don't judge, very kind, good, and awesome people. They also comfort people when they're down. The good news is you can call anytime if you have any questions. My experience with them so far has been a perfect and unexpected result. They fight for your rights. Go check them out, they always are ready to hear you with no rush. Thank you again, guys, thank you for everything so far because I have no regrets. The receptionist is awesome.- Stanley M.
