Boynton Beach Marital Property Division Attorney

At the Law Office of Maureen K. Gour, P.A., our staff is experienced in dealing with the Florida marital property distribution laws.

If you are concerned about how your assets and property will be divided in your divorce, contact a property distribution lawyer at the Law Office of Maureen K. Gour, P.A.

Florida is an equitable distribution state, meaning that the marital assets and property accumulated during the course of your marriage are divided fair and equitably. However, this does not necessarily mean that your assets are divided 50-50.

In fact, the marital property division statutes include numerous factors that may affect the distribution of your real and personal property, including:

• Duration of the marriage
• Age of the parties
• Physical and emotional health of the parties
• Premarital property of the parties
• Existence of marriage contracts made by the parties before or during the marriage concerning an arrangement of property distribution
• Conversion of marital assets to private use

As part of property distribution, your liabilities and debts as a married couple are also divided in the event of a divorce. This means that all debts are split equitably, but not necessarily evenly. This is to ensure that the overall distribution of property and debts is fair, and neither party is burdened with an unfair share of debt.

Our firm is also dedicated to helping clients secure thorough and accurate family business valuations and pursue any hidden assets that may be subject to division as well.
