Why You Need a Dedicated Equitable Property Division Lawyer

Dividing assets isn’t simply “50/50” — courts weigh multiple factors (duration of marriage, contributions of each spouse, interruption of careers, dissipation of assets, and more).
Some assets are non-marital (e.g. inherited property, gifts, or assets acquired before marriage) and may be excluded or adjusted.
Businesses, retirement accounts, pensions, and real estate often require expert valuation and apportionment to avoid unfair losses.
If one spouse intentionally hides, transfers, or depletes marital assets, we can petition the court for adjustments or sanctions.

Key Steps in the Equitable Property Division Process

Asset & Debt Inventory

We identify all marital and nonmarital assets and liabilities, including real property, investments, business interests, and retirement accounts.

Valuation & Appraisal

For homes, businesses, and investments, we work with appraisers and forensic accountants to get fair market values.

Negotiation & Settlement

We negotiate with the other spouse or their counsel, aiming for a fair settlement that lets you move forward.

Litigation (if needed)

When agreement can’t be reached, we litigate in court. Florida requires courts to support any unequal distributions with factual findings (Fla. Stat. § 61.075).

Implementation & Enforcement

We ensure the final judgment is carried out: transfers, deed recordings, monetary payments, or installment orders become binding.

FAQs About Dividing Property in Florida

What is “equitable property division”?

Equitable division (also called equitable distribution) means splitting marital assets in a fair manner, not necessarily equally. Courts consider many factors to balance contributions, needs, and future circumstances.

Which assets are subject to division?

Marital property — property acquired during the marriage — is generally divisible. Nonmarital property (inherited assets, personal gifts, assets held before marriage) may be excluded or adjusted.

Does Florida law presume a 50/50 split?

Florida’s statute starts with the presumption of an equal distribution, but courts may depart from 50/50 when justified by relevant factors (e.g. career interruptions, dissipation, unequal contributions) under Fla. Stat. § 61.075.

How do courts value complex assets (business, retirement, patents)?

Courts rely on expert appraisers, forensic accountants, and valuation methodologies. We coordinate these specialists to ensure your assets are fairly assessed.

How long will this take?

It depends — if both parties cooperate, negotiations can conclude in a few months. In contested cases, litigation can extend the timeline. But our goal is always to move efficiently and protect your interests.
