TAMPA PROPERTY DIVISION ATTORNEY

Experienced Legal Support for Property Divison in Florida

What Is Marital Property?

Marital property is any asset acquired during your marriage from marital labor or marital income, usually up to the date of the filing of the divorce. This can include items like houses, land, retirement accounts, airplanes, investments, jewelry, and more. Particularly in instances of high-asset divorce, property division should be carefully negotiated, and our experienced attorneys at Harris, Hunt & Derr, P.A. are here to help.

In a Florida divorce, “marital property” is equitably distributed between you and your spouse when the marriage is dissolved. While the court must begin with the premise that the distribution should be equal, there are instances where an unequal distribution favoring one party or the other may be more equitable. 

WHAT TYPES OF ASSETS CAN BE INCLUDED IN PROPERTY DIVISION?

Our team will help you parse your marital and non-marital assets, and also walk you through the process of evaluating any liabilities and debt obtained during the marriage, as this is also considered during divorce proceedings.
