Property division is a crucial aspect of the divorce process and can become increasingly complex based on the length of the marriage and the number of assets and debts involved. The simplest approach to dividing property during a divorce is for both parties to reach an agreement on their own. However, since many couples struggle to amicably resolve these issues, a judge may need to step in and make the decision.

In Florida, the law provides for equitable distribution when dividing property in a divorce. This means that assets are divided fairly rather than simply splitting everything in half.

Separate Property refers to assets or debts owned by one spouse prior to marriage or those acquired during the marriage as a gift or inheritance.

Marital Property includes everything that does not qualify as separate property, typically encompassing assets and debts acquired during the marriage.
