Miami Property Division Attorneys
A Florida divorce decree divides everything you own and everything you owe. Once that order is entered, reopening it is rare and expensive — which is why getting it right the first time is everything.
Dividing assets and debts in a divorce can be more complex than the divorce itself. The home, retirement accounts, businesses, investment portfolios, and even debts must be identified, valued, and divided. Mistakes made now can cost you for the rest of your life.
At Reynoso Erickson Trial Law, P.A., we handle equitable distribution cases of every size — from straightforward marital home divisions to complex business valuations and hidden-asset investigations. We know how to protect what is rightfully yours.
Understanding Equitable Distribution in Florida
Florida is an equitable distribution state. That does not mean equal — it means fair. Courts begin with the presumption that marital assets and liabilities should be divided equally, but they can deviate based on the facts of the case.
The first step in any property division case is classifying every asset and debt as either:
- Marital Property: Acquired during the marriage by either spouse, regardless of whose name is on the title
- Non-Marital Property: Acquired before the marriage, by gift or inheritance to one spouse only, or excluded by valid agreement
Classification often becomes a major battleground, especially when non-marital assets have been mixed with marital funds.
Assets and Debts We Handle
- The Marital Home and other real estate
- Retirement accounts — 401(k)s, IRAs, pensions, and deferred compensation
- Business interests and professional practices
- Investment portfolios, brokerage accounts, and stock options
- Bank accounts and cash holdings
- Vehicles, boats, and personal property
- Cryptocurrency and digital assets
- Mortgages, credit card debt, and other liabilities
When Courts Divide Property Unequally
Florida courts may divide marital property unequally when the facts justify it. Common reasons include the contributions of each spouse to the marriage, the economic circumstances of each spouse, the duration of the marriage, and the conduct of either spouse with respect to marital assets. The right outcome depends on the evidence, and we know how to build it.
How We Handle Property Division Cases
- Asset Identification: We use formal discovery, subpoenas, and forensic experts to ensure every asset is on the table.
- Valuation: We retain qualified business valuators, real estate appraisers, and pension experts when needed.
- Hidden Asset Recovery: When a spouse has moved, hidden, or wasted marital funds, we trace and recover them.
- Strategic Settlement and Trial: We negotiate hard and try cases when settlement is not possible.
