How Is Property Divided in Florida?
Each state has its own laws regarding property division. In the state of
Florida, only marital property-property that was acquired during marriage-is
divided. This can include assets such as real estate, furniture, and vehicles.
Property that was obtained before marriage is considered separate and
is not divided during
divorce.
When dividing property, a judge will consider the following:
- The contributions made by both spouses
- The length of the marriage
- The financial situation of each spouse
- The efforts of each spouse to improve their household's finances
- The contributions made by either spouse to support the other's career
