Property Division in a Florida Divorce

Florida follows the equitable distribution model of property division, meaning marital property is divided fairly, though not always equally, between both spouses. The process involves a careful review of what qualifies as marital property versus separate property, from homes and vehicles to retirement accounts and business interests.

Factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contribution to shared assets, and both parties' financial circumstances all come into play. 

Military divorces, which are common in the Fort Walton Beach area due to nearby Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field, involve unique considerations, including military pensions and deployment-related benefits. 

Similarly, when spousal support or child custody issues overlap with property division, our team works to coordinate these areas so that each decision supports the overall stability of your post-divorce life.
