Property Division & Alimony

Property Division

Marital property may include cars, houses, retirement benefits (pensions), business interests, cash, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, personal property and other things of value.

Florida statutes and case law provides for an "equitable distribution" of marital property. In essence, the marital property should be divided fairly or equitably(not necessarily equally) between the parties regardless of how the title is held.

There is no fixed way to determine how you or the court should divide the property. Liabilities as well assets must be considered. Other factors include the nature and extent of the property and whether it is marital property or non-marital property; the duration of the marriage; the economic circumstances of each spouse. The attorneys at The Law Office of Steven Glaros & Associates can assist you in reaching an agreement that is reasonable, and fair.

Alimony

The court may grant alimony to either the husband or the wife. The attorneys at The Law Office of Steven Glaros & Associates protect your right to find out about all your spouse's income and assets through the use of discovery procedures.

Taxes and Debts

There are very important tax considerations to be aware of in any divorce, including the dependency deduction for children, taxability of child support and alimony in their various forms and property transfers. It is important to find out how these laws affect you.
Any debts that the husband and wife may have should also be resolved at the time of the divorce.
