Working for a Fair Settlement in Your Divorce
Property division can be one of the more hotly contested areas in a divorce proceeding. Florida law operates from the legal premise that all marital assets and liabilities should be distributed equitably between the two spouses. That means anything that was purchased or any debt that accrued during the marriage should be divided between the two spouses as close to 50/50 as possible.
One of the biggest challenges in this process is determining a fair value for all the marital assets and how to distribute them in a way that is fair to both parties. There is a certain amount of risk involved in letting the court make property division decisions, since the order is binding. It is often advisable to have an experienced attorney help with valuation and division of the property.
