Property Division in 离婚
Handling the Division of your Property
Under Florida law, the court must try to make an "equitable distribution" of marital property and debts. "Equitable" does not always mean "equal," although that is the starting point. 许多因素, including child support, custody, and alimony awards, can cause the court to make an unequal (but still equitable) division of property. 法院 will not generally divide the property and debts that arise outside the 婚姻. For professional help in handling your property division contact a Florida family law attorney.
Some areas to consider in the division of property and debts are:
- Your principal residence
- Other real property
- 养老金
- Profit sharing plans
- IRA's and other retirement benefits
- Personal property such as furniture and electronics
- Business property
- Value of a business or professional practice
- Stocks, bonds and stock options
- Vehicles, boats, RVs
- Cash in bank accounts or elsewhere
- Mutual funds, savings bonds and other investment items
- Collectibles, guns, tools antiques
- 珠宝
- 艺术作品
- 家族的传家宝
- Any other assets which have a fair market value or a sentimental value
There may be other items you are requesting in the divorce settlement that offset some of these assets, such as the cost of health insurance, life insurance, annuities or trusts. In addition, liabilities must also be taken into account and clearly stated as to who will be responsible for 每个债务.
