Handling Property Division and Business Valuation In Conjunction With A Divorce
Many aspects of a divorce are often highly argued. One of those issues is property division. Both sides may be fighting over the property that they believe is rightfully theirs. However, there is a specific way in which property, and debts, are divided according to Florida law.

Though a divorcing couple can agree to some give- and-take when it comes to property, property is divided according to the law of equitable distribution. This means that property may not be divided 50-50, but is divided equally and fairly between the two individuals.
There are a variety of types of property and assets that may be divided, including:
- Personal property
- Homes
- Cars
- Real estate and vacation properties
- Stocks options
- Pensions and other retirement benefits
- 401(k)s
- Family businesses
