St. Petersburg Area Property Division Attorney

Property Division Lawyer Also Serving Pinellas County

Florida is an equitable distribution state, which does not mean that both spouses will split all property, assets and other marital property down the middle.  Instead, it means that an agreement in which both parties are fairly, or equitably, treated will have to be reached.  In some divorces, the property division aspect can be extremely contentious and can involve heated debate.  We are aware that your property and assets are important to you, and we want to make sure that your rights and those of your family are upheld. 

Marital property is divided in a divorce.  Marital property is generally defined as property acquired by either the husband or wife or both together during the marriage.  This can be adjusted if there is property that was changed into the name of both parties or if one spouse owned a house before a marriage but the other spouse put money and time into improving the property – both of these circumstances can make a property into marital property. 

When you are going through a divorce, you need to make sure that you understand what to expect when your marital property is distributed.  A St. Petersburg area property division lawyer at Givens Divorce Law Group can help you to understand the process fully.
