The State of Florida is an equitable distribution state. This means that any property acquired during the marriage is considered marital property. There is a presumption that the property is to be split equally between the two parties. However, the Court will consider several factors that may change this distribution, resulting in an unequal distribution. Debts incurred during the marriage are also presumed to be equally divided between the two parties. Some property is not considered marital property and therefore would not be subject to distribution between the two parties. Shorstein & Lasnetski will counsel you as to what is marital property or debt subject to distribution and what property or debt is not subject to distribution.
