Other than issues involving children, division of property (equitable distribution)
is often the most contested issue in a divorce
proceeding.
As
an experienced Equitable Distribution Attorney (lawyer) serving the
Orlando and Central Florida area,
Elaine A. Barbour has successfully
represented many individuals engaged in Equitable
Distribution (division of marital property) and other
Family Law legal issues.
When property has been acquired during
the course of a
marriage, and that marriage is entering into a
divorce proceeding, the division of marital
property must be negotiated prior to the
divorce being finalized. Property division
(equitable distribution) is extremely
important consideration in any divorce because
acquired property may not only have financial
worth implications, but often also involve
sentimental value.
As an experienced Orlando Marital Property
Attorney (lawyer),
Elaine A. Barbour tries to ensure property items
which have sentimental value do not become
exploited by the other party in an effort to use
these property items as bargaining chips or a
way of causing added undue stress during divorce
proceedings.
When the a fair distribution of marital property cannot
be reached through mediation, Florida courts
then have the responsibility to fairly
divide the marital and non-marital
property of the spouses which were acquired
during the course of a marriage. When
determining fair equitable division of
marital property,
the courts will make no distinction as to whose
name the property may be titled in. This is
because property acquired during a marriage is
considered to be joint property.
For determining what assets and debt are
marital, the law provides that the timeline used
will be the date of the marriage to the date of
the filing of the petition or the date of the
entry into a valid separation agreement or the
date that the judge determines to be just and
equitable under the circumstances. Any assets
or debt you brought into the marriage, to the
extent it has retained it's non-marital
character, will be yours going back out of the
marriage. Any inheritances received during the
marriage are non-marital to the extent any
portion has not been gifted.
In dividing your assets and debt, the court must
start off with the presumption of an equal
distribution but courts can and do make unequal
distributions based upon the circumstances. For

concept contact our office today at
