Orlando Property Division Lawyer
To accomplish a divorce, there must be a division of all of the parties' marital assets and liabilities. This process is known as the equitable distribution of assets and liabilities. Equitable does not necessarily mean equal, rather it means "in fairness." The cutoff date for determining which assets or liabilities are subject to equitable distribution is the date that a party's petition for dissolution of marriage is filed with the appropriate clerk of court. Those assets which were acquired and/or liabilities incurred during the course of the marriage are generally marital in nature and subject to division by the court.
At the Florida Law Offices of Christian D. Smed, P.A., our mission is to bring clarity to the often chaotic and complicated circumstances surrounding financial issues and property division during the divorce process. We work closely with our clients to meet their objectives, including the identification of our client's non-marital assets, which are generally not subject to distribution to your spouse.
We strive to provide competent legal representation and provide our clients with the personal service they deserve. For a free initial consultation with Orlando property division attorney Christian D. Smed, please call us at 407-901-4750 or toll free at 888-750-5072 or contact us by e-mail.
Florida Division of Assets Attorney — Simplifying a Complex Issue
Divorce lawsuits involving marital assets and liabilities are heard in a court of "equity," as opposed to a court of "law." This means that the court has broad discretion as to how it resolves the financial issues. We stand by your side to ensure your rights are protected.
As upset as you may be at your spouse, his or her bad behavior does not disqualify him or her from receiving an equitable share of the assets and debts accumulated throughout the course of your marriage. We will work with you to paint a clear picture of your options, focusing on achieving the best possible results for you, no matter how complex your property division.
