At the end of a marriage, it can be difficult to agree on property division or alimony. Every divorce is different with a unique set of assets and different circumstances for each of the spouses. Talk to a divorce lawyer about your rights and obligations.

• What is equitable distribution? In Florida, property is not automatically divided in half. The court strives for an equitable distribution of the marriage assets. In essence, this means the court proceeds according to what it thinks is fair.
• What is marital property? Any assets acquired during the marriage can be considered marital assets. Division of assets can include the family home, other real estate, personal property (cars, jewelry, boats), pension benefits, IRAs, 401(k)s, stocks, and other items of value.
