Florida's Equitable Distribution Laws

During property division in divorce, Florida follows the principle of equitable distribution. This means marital property must be divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. 

Marital property subject to division typically includes:

• Real estate acquired during the marriage, including primary residences, vacation homes, and investment properties
• Business interests and professional practices established or grown during the marriage
• Retirement accounts, pensions, and 401(k) plans accumulated during the marriage
• Investment portfolios, stocks, bonds, and other securities
• Bank accounts and cash assets held jointly or acquired during the marriage
• Personal property, such as vehicles, jewelry, art collections, and other valuables

Assets owned before marriage or received as gifts or inheritance are generally considered non-marital. This means they will stay with the original owner in a divorce. However, high-net-worth cases often involve complex commingling issues where marital and non-marital assets have become intertwined, requiring sophisticated analysis to properly classify and protect separate property.

The Role of Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are powerful tools for protecting assets and guiding property division. These agreements allow couples to predetermine how to allocate property in the event of divorce, potentially streamlining the process and avoiding costly litigation.

A well-crafted prenuptial agreement can protect pre-marital assets, family wealth, business interests, and anticipated inheritances. Postnuptial agreements, created during the marriage, can address similar concerns and may be particularly valuable when a couple’s circumstances change, from the start of a new business venture to an inheritance. 

At Abramowitz & Associates, we are your trusted source for all things to do with prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
