Florida is an equitable distribution state when it comes to marital property and debts. However, equitable doesn't necessarily mean 50-50. What one spouse consider fair may not be fair to the other spouse. Martial property division can be stressful and complex. We will go over what is considered a marital asset or liability and what is a non-marital asset and non-marital liability.
Valuation of real estate must be based on the housing market and can be another added stress. If you or your spouse owns a business, it will need to be accurately valued. Retirement benefits such as 401(k) accounts and pension plans will need to be divided using a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). Debts such as credit card bills and outstanding loans must also be divided in an equitable manner.
