St. Petersburg Property Division Attorney

Brandon Asset Division Lawyer

Florida uses the term "equitable distribution" to describe how assets and liabilities will be divided upon divorce. Equitable distribution doesn't necessarily mean 50-50. The court will determine what is equitable based on the specific facts of your case. At the law firm of Christina L. Sandvoss P.A. in Florida, I will fight to protect your interests in your property division case.

As an attorney who has gone through divorce myself, I know how easy it is to get emotional over issues like property division. That is why I offer a free initial consultation to explain how marital assets and liabilities are divided in Florida.

Knowledgeable Asset Division Lawyer in St. Petersburg

Florida is a no-fault divorce state. This means that the court doesn’t need to place blame on one party for the break-up of your marriage. Fault is not an issue that will affect how you split up assets and liabilities.

All assets will be divided, including houses, cars, furniture, retirement plans and savings accounts. If you and your spouse can decide on how to divide marital property, that may be better than letting the judge do it. I have experience dividing property of high-asset individuals as well as individuals with debt.

Protecting Your Separate Property

Some property you owned prior to your marriage, as well as gifts and inheritances received during your marriage, does not have to be divided. This type of property is called separate property, as compared to community property, which is property, not a gift or inheritance, acquired during the marriage.

Real estate owned prior to your marriage must be titled in your name only to remain nonmarital property. If you add your spouse's name to the title, half of the property may become a gift to your spouse. I can help you resolve your complicated asset division issues.
