In Florida, property division during a divorce is governed by the principle of equitable distribution, as outlined in Florida Statutes Chapter 61. This means that marital assets and debts are divided fairly between spouses, but not necessarily equally. The court considers several factors to determine a fair distribution based on the specifics of each case.

Key Factors in Equitable Distribution:

• Length of the marriage: The longer the marriage, the more likely the court is to consider a more equal division of assets.
• Each spouse’s contributions: Both financial contributions (income, property acquired) and non-financial contributions (household work, raising children) are considered.
• Economic circumstances: The court will assess each spouse’s financial situation, including income, assets, and debts.
• Desirability of keeping certain property: For example, if one spouse wants to keep the family home, the court may grant that wish, factoring in other aspects of the property division.

While equitable distribution aims for fairness, it doesn’t always result in a 50/50 split. The court’s goal is to achieve a just outcome based on the unique circumstances of your marriage.
