Who Gets To Keep The Assets In A Florida Divorce?

When determining which assets will be split between the two parties during a Florida divorce, assets are divided into two categories: marital property and separate property. Debts are also split into these categories. Marital property or debt is anything that has been acquired during the marriage, while separate property was held by either of the parties before the marriage began.

In general, marital assets are shared equally between the partners; however, the judge can split your debt or assets unequally if they believe it is merited. They will look at factors such as the income of each party, how long you were married, how much each partner has contributed to the marriage, and many other factors.

The best solution is if you and your spouse are able to agree on the terms of the divorce and how you both would like the assets and debts to be divided. This can allow you to avoid some of the expenses that occur from a long, drawn-out divorce in the courtroom. A family law matters attorney can assist you with the negotiation process and help you come to an agreement.

Whether or not you will be required to pay spousal support after your divorce depends on the circumstances of your marriage and your divorce. Like with asset division, the court will take into consideration the length of your marriage, your and your spouse’s age, income, and education levels, the standard of living both parties maintained during the marriage, and more.

The state of Florida uses a specific formula to calculate the amount of spousal support that should be paid. If spousal support is required, the length of time you must pay it will also be determined, which ranges from a one-time payment to permanent payments until the other party remarries or passes away.

A qualified family lawyer will be able to help you understand whether alimony will be necessary, as well as how you might be able to avoid it. Similar to other terms of your divorce, you may be able to negotiate with your spouse on the terms of spousal support.
