Equitable Distribution in Florida
Property division laws in Florida call for the equitable division of property in a divorce action. This means that marital property (generally, any property acquired during the marriage) will be divided fairly but not necessarily equally when parties divorce. Attorney William J. Thompson can help you address any property division matter, including the following:
- Businesses — Our firm represents owners of small and medium-sized businesses and family-owned businesses experiencing divorce. We work to identify and value business assets, and equitably divide and distribute the business.
- Real estate — Dividing real estate in a divorce requires an accurate valuation of the property and assessment of each party's equity in the property. We represent clients in dividing the marital home as well as other real estate property such as vacation homes and time shares.
- Stock options — When stock options are to be divided in divorce, it is necessary to determine what portion of the stock options are considered marital property. If one spouse bought the stock before the marriage but its value grew during the marriage, a portion of the stock options may or may not be considered marital property. Our law firm has the resources and support necessary to effectively value and divide stock options in divorce.
Dividing assets in divorce can be highly complex, especially when the comingling of marital and nonmarital assets occurs. Our firm is well-equipped to handle complex property division matters while protecting the financial interests of our clients — and settle any disputes that arise along the way.
