Florida Property Division When a Marriage Ends
When a marriage reaches its end, one of the critical aspects to navigate is the division of property. In Florida, the process involves specific rules and considerations, and having a knowledgeable Palm Beach divorce lawyer by your side is essential. Board Certified in Marriage and Family Law, Attorney Grant Gisondo understands the complexities of property division in Florida divorce cases. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the intricacies of Florida property division and how Attorney Gisondo can guide you through this crucial aspect of ending a marriage.
Equitable Distribution
Florida follows the principle of equitable distribution when dividing marital assets and liabilities. This means that property is not necessarily divided equally but rather in a fair and just manner. Attorney Gisondo will work to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of assets and debts to achieve an equitable distribution.
Marital vs. Non-Marital Property
Distinguishing between marital and non-marital property is fundamental in the division process. Marital property includes assets acquired during the marriage, while non-marital property typically includes assets owned prior to marriage or acquired through inheritance or gift. Your Palm Beach divorce lawyer will help navigate the complexities of this distinction, ensuring a fair division.
Complex Assets and Valuation
Accurate valuation is crucial in cases involving complex assets such as businesses, investments, or real estate. Attorney Gisondo has the expertise to work with financial professionals to ensure an accurate assessment of these assets, facilitating an equitable distribution.
Debts and Liabilities
The division of debts and liabilities is as important as the division of assets. Attorney Gisondo will assist in identifying and fairly apportioning marital debts, ensuring a comprehensive resolution to financial matters.
Negotiation and Settlement: While some cases may proceed to court for a judge to decide on property division, many are resolved through negotiation and settlement. Gisondo Law excels in negotiation strategies, striving to achieve favorable outcomes for our clients without the need for protracted legal battles.
