how marital property is divided during divorce

​How is marital property divided in Florida? It’s a question many clients face when they go through a divorce. The Filler & Hedum Law Firm provides expert Florida divorce lawyers who can help you with the process of equitable distribution.
 
Florida law defines marital assets and debts as those accumulated during the marriage. The process of distributing those assets and debts is called equitable distribution. This means assets and debts are equally distributed to each party, no matter whether the husband or wife bought the asset or incurred the debt.
 
Types of assets considered in equitable distribution:

• Cars
• Boats
• Motorcycles
• Bank Accounts
• Cash
• Retirement Accounts
• Pensions/401(k)/403(b)
• Personal property

 
Types of debts considered in equitable distribution:

• Mortgages
• Credit cards
• Car loans
• Personal loans
• School loans/student loans

 
Any asset or debt identified as non-marital (meaning that it was acquired or incurred before the marriage) is not part of equitable distribution.
