Understanding Equitable Distribution
Equitable distribution is the legal process of dividing marital assets and debts during a divorce. In Florida, the goal is fair, not necessarily equal, taking into account each spouse’s contributions and circumstances.
At Nicole Alvarez Law, we help clients understand which assets are marital versus non-marital, and how the law applies to:
Real estate and property
Financial accounts and retirement funds
Business interests
Personal property and valuables
Debts incurred during the marriage
A clear understanding of equitable distribution can prevent disputes and ensure a fair division tailored to your family’s needs.
Key Factors in Asset Division
Florida courts consider multiple factors when dividing assets and debts, including:
Duration of the marriage
Contributions of each spouse, including homemaking and career support
Economic circumstances and earning potential of each spouse
Health, age, and needs of each party
Any prenuptial or postnuptial agreements
We help clients strategize, negotiate, and document settlements to ensure fair outcomes while protecting financial security.
