Property Division – A Quick Overview
The Manatee County family and divorce attorneys with McDermott Law Offices have more than two decades of experience in the area of property division. Florida law will generally mandate that all property and debts that are part of a marriage are equitably distributed between the two spouses. But Florida is not a community property state – hence the term “equitably distributed.” The court will try to be as fair as possible, but there’s a chance that one spouse will receive significantly more than the other.
