Dividing Marital Assets In Florida Divorces

Asset division can be one of the most contentious aspects of divorce, particularly with high-value marital estates. At the Law Office of Troy W. Klein, P.A., I can help you address marital asset division from a strategic place of strength.

I am board-certified in marital and family law through The Florida Bar, a distinction not many attorneys hold.

Understanding Asset Division In Divorce

When it comes to dividing assets in divorce, Florida follows an equitable property division standard. That means a judge will ultimately weigh the circumstances to arrive at a distribution that is fair and just. Often, though not always, that division is roughly equal.

Complexities come into play with circumstances like:

• One spouse stayed at home to raise children.
• One spouse has significant nonmarital assets (separate property) that they acquired before the marriage or during the marriage through gifts or inheritance.
• The parties have a family business.
• One spouse has been hiding or dissipating assets.

Additionally, property division becomes more complicated with high-value assets such as:

• Real estate
• Yachts
• Business interests
• Investment accounts
• 401(k)s and other retirement accounts

Having an experienced, knowledgeable attorney on your side is essential for protecting your property interests in divorce.
