Understanding the Division of Property After Divorce: Protecting Your Assets
The division of property after divorce refers to the process of determining how marital assets and debts are allocated between spouses. In Florida, the principle of equitable distribution is followed, which means that marital property is divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. The court considers various factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial contributions, the economic circumstances of each spouse, and other relevant factors. Our skilled attorneys at Plotnick Law will work diligently to protect your assets and ensure a fair division of property that aligns with your best interests.

Property Rules for Divorce in Florida: Equitable Distribution
In Florida, the property rules for divorce revolve around the concept of equitable distribution. Equitable distribution means that marital property is divided fairly based on the specific circumstances of the case. Marital property typically includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage. However, certain assets may be considered separate property if they were acquired before the marriage or through inheritance or gifts. Our experienced attorneys at Plotnick Law can provide guidance on how the property rules apply to your specific situation and work towards achieving a fair distribution of marital assets.
