EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN DIVIDING ASSETS AND DEBTS
There are three main facets of marital property division: (a) isolating the spouses’ separate property, if any, (b) putting a value on the rest of the estate and © deciding how to allocate those assets. This can be fairly straightforward, but in many cases, it requires the involvement of professionals and the court.
We offer analysis, strategy, negotiation and litigation regarding property division, including:
- Separately owned assets
- Pensions and retirement accounts
- The marital residence and real estate
- Businesses and professional practices
- Investments
- Valuables, vehicles
- Loan obligations and debts
- Hidden assets or income
- Alimony payments or lump-sum settlements
We work with business valuation experts, appraisers, forensic accountants and other specialists to gauge the value of the joint estate, then help clients establish their priorities. Under Florida’s equitable distribution statute, the settlement may deviate from a 50-50 split based on the length of the marriage, contributions of each spouse, the income and economic circumstances of each spouse, contributions to a spouse’s career or earning capacity, the interruption of one’s own career or education, possession of the house, marital waste by one party, and other factors.
Sometimes litigation is unavoidable, but we emphasize mediation and negotiation to reach an out-of-court agreement that limits the cost of divorce and allows the parties to control the outcome.
