Property
division is a complex issue in Florida divorce cases. The property
that any of the spouses receive after the property division provides
the financial basis for the rest of their life after their divorce.
You
must understand the importance of having a skilled
and knowledgeable lawyer on your side who can minimize your
financial risks during your divorce proceedings. A property division
lawyer in Miami works diligently to see that your interests are
protected during the entire process and helps you obtain the property
you deserve!
Property
distribution is basically a four part process:
1)
Identifying the debts and assets regardless of when the debt was
incurred, when the property was acquired, from whom debt or asset was
acquired, and how it was acquired.
2)
Classifying the debts and assets as separate, marital, or divisible.
a)
Separate: assets or debts acquired before the marriage
b)
Marital: assets or debts acquired between the date of marriage and
the date of separation.
c)
Divisible: of property acquired after separation including financial
accounts, bonuses and commissions
3)
Valuation of the debts and assets: It is the most critical part which
is carried out by accountants, appraisers, and business evaluators.
4)
Equitable distribution of the debts and assets: A lot of factors are
considered here which include
a)
the income of each spouse
b)
property of each spouse
c)
length of marriage age
d)
health of each spouse;
e)
pension and other retirement benefits
f)
contribution made by both to advance the other's education or career
