What is Equitable Distribution in Florida?
If you are going through divorce in Florida, one of the first financial questions is simple but important: What happens to your assets and debts?
In Florida, this is called equitable distribution. It is the process of dividing marital assets and marital debts in divorce. For many professionals, business owners, executives, and high-net-worth families, this can include real estate, retirement accounts, business interests, investments, credit cards, mortgages, and other financial obligations.
