Understand Property and Debt Division in Florida
In Florida property and debt division is known as equitable distribution of assets and liabilities. Marital property and debt is divided between spouses in a divorce. Determining what property is marital can be difficult and confusing for many of our clients. Many of our clients have been surprised to learn that marital property and debt can include:
- Assets purchased during the marriage, including real estate and cars in only one spouse's name
- Real property or assets that were retitled after marriage to include the spouse
- Interspousal gifts
- Business ownership interests
- Debts incurred during the marriage
- Credit card debt, even if that card is only in one spouse's name and you were not aware of its existence
Non marital property and debt, on the other hand, includes assets purchased and debts incurred prior to the marriage, as well as inheritance to one spouse or nonspousal gifts to one of you. Also, any assets or debts acquired after the divorce filing are nonmarital.
Hire a Skilled Attorney
At our firm, we will conduct a thorough investigation to identify which assets are marital and which are nonmarital. We will file a financial affidavit for you. Comparing this information to your spouse's affidavit, we will determine whether litigation is required to compel their disclosure of assets.
