Even though some states have laws requiring a 50/50 split of assets during a divorce, Florida takes a more balanced and equitable approach to the matter. By law, Florida is an “equitable distribution” state, as opposed to a “community property” state. Generally, this means that during divorce, your assets, property, and liabilities may be equally distributed in a divorce settlement by the courts. It is important to note that property also means debt. The equal distribution of property during a divorce allows fair debt distribution so no one is given an extreme disadvantage. It is possible that some factors may affect this process so it is important to seek the proper help to get your property sorted effectively. There are times when the courts take these factors into consideration and shift the final divorce decree one way or another. An experienced and knowledgeable equitable distribution attorney in Boca Raton can fight for your case so you can get what you rightfully deserve. Our attorneys fight to make sure our clients get the best results possible at the end of the day.

Hiding or concealing assets happens more often than you would think in a marriage. If one spouse doesn’t know of the other spouse’s hidden assets, it can make it extremely difficult for the court to properly divide those assets during a divorce. Either spouse can hide bank statements, cash, jewelry, and many other types of valuable assets that can never see the light of day in court. These hidden assets can have an adverse effect on the distribution of property, leaving you with much less than you deserve. Protect yourself from hidden assets and fight for what is rightfully yours by contacting our law office today.

If one spouse tries to hide funds and conceal assets, the other spouse has a huge challenge. The spouse that faces that major disadvantage is often referred to as the “out spouse”. Because many marriages have a de-facto manager of finances, meaning usually one spouse or the other handles paying bills and managing the finances of the household, they have the ability to hide assets and funds from the other spouse during a divorce. Our lawyers can take the appropriate steps to ensure equity when it comes time to distribute property. We can work to make sure you are treated fairly throughout your entire divorce.
