Boca Raton Property Division Attorney

Representing Floridians in Equitable Distribution of Marital Property & Debt

Divorce is not something most couples consider when entering a marriage. Most couples work on building a life together which can involve accruing marital assets, such as a home, investments, savings, and more. Unfortunately, divorce is common in the U.S. and a spouse can initiate a no-fault divorce in Florida at any time, based on irreconcilable differences that he/she feels have irretrievably broken the marriage.

In all cases of Florida divorce, couples must come to terms with dividing assets and debts to finalize the process. In many cases, this can be a complex and challenging issue and rife with conflict. Because of this contention, couples must understand the law and how courts determine a fair and equitable division and distribution. 

Attorney Haber at the Law Offices of Lindsay B. Haber has helped countless couples reach acceptable property division settlements that can then be presented to the judge for approval. These arrangements can be accomplished through skilled negotiation, mediation, or the collaborative law process where both sides work together to find common ground with the help of their respective attorneys. Ms. Haber has extensive experience and valuable skills in advocating for your legal rights and best interests in these matters while working to help you reach an optimal settlement.

Equitable Distribution in Florida Divorce

Marital property division in Florida involves dividing and distributing property and debt equitably. This may or may not translate to a 50-50 division, based on the unique facts and circumstances of the case. 

Marital property refers to the assets that the couple has accrued during the marriage. 

Marital property can include:

Both marital and non-marital property may be considered in the division process. Non-marital property includes assets secured before the marriage, inheritances, gifts, and personal injury settlements. These latter assets generally are not subject to division. However, exceptions can occur, such as when the non-marital property has been commingled with marital property. 

This process can be quite complex, especially in divorces of high net worth, multiple and diverse investments, hidden assets, commingled assets, complicated tax consequences, the assessment of future income and earning potential, (in cases where a spouse has supported the other in advancing his/her career or education), the accurate valuation of assets, out-of-state and international assets, and disputes over asset classification or what is equitable.
