In Florida, equitable division attempts a fifty-fifty split of everything, unless you can prove otherwise. From business valuation to marital property, you need proof to retain anything beyond fifty percent of your assets. Even if you owned a house before your marriage, if the mortgage was paid out of a joint checking account for the length of the marriage, it becomes marital property.

The state has strict laws concerning equitable distribution, but there are things you can do to protect your rights. At the Law Office of Serena Carroll, we will make sure the marital property division plan you create is an accurate reflection of your financial situation, taking all your assets and investments into consideration:

• Real Estate
• Retirement Plans and 401k's
• Debt
• Business
• Special Equity

Assessing Debt

Your real property is not the only thing subject to equitable distribution. If you or your spouse has any debt, it will be divided the same way, unless one party can prove that it is the responsibility of the other. For example, if one party has accumulated substantial credit card debt while having an extramarital affair, that should not be the responsibility of their spouse.
