When you’re ready to file for divorce in Florida, it’s time to consider how your assets will be affected by the change. Unless there was a pre- or post-nuptial agreement, the division of property during divorce can get a little tricky. That’s why it’s important to contact an experienced property division divorce attorney to make sure your property is split fairly between you and your spouse.
Before your legal team can effectively distribute property to the rightful owner, they will determine what is considered marital property and what is considered non-martial property.
