Equitable Distribution: What You Need to Know

In Florida, marital property is divided equitably—not always equally. This means the court strives for a fair distribution based on each spouse’s financial circumstances.

💡 What Counts as Marital Property?

  • Real estate (including gains on pre-marital property)
  • Joint or individual bank accounts
  • Stocks, bonds, and investments
  • Retirement accounts (IRAs, 401(k)s, pensions)
  • Businesses and professional practices
  • Automobiles, artwork, furniture
  • Debts accumulated during the marriage

Property Settlement Agreements

When both spouses agree on how to divide property and debts, we draft or review a customized Property Settlement Agreement that reflects your mutual decisions and protects your interests. If an agreement can’t be reached, the court will step in to make an equitable—but not necessarily equal—division.

High-Asset Divorce: Special Considerations

We have deep experience handling complex divorces involving:

  • Family-owned businesses
  • Venture capital and private investments
  • Offshore assets and foreign citizenship
  • Executive compensation packages
  • Real estate portfolios
  • Inheritance and trusts

🔍 Asset Discovery & Hidden Property

In high-stakes divorces, one spouse may try to conceal income or assets. Our attorneys conduct meticulous financial investigations, often with forensic accountants, to uncover hidden or undervalued property. Full financial disclosure is not optional—it’s required by Florida law.
