Property Division

Broward County Property Division Lawyer

Property division is a critical aspect of a divorce. It is important to ensure it is handled properly because it sets the stage for your financial life once the divorce is complete. Once the divorce is finalized, the division of assets cannot be revisited. Make sure you have an attorney who can protect your interests.

Plantation divorce and property division attorney Kelley A. Joseph knows how to guide clients through the property division process, helping clients with every aspect of marital asset division in divorces, including:

  • Determining marital property: Since only marital assets can be divided in a divorce, one of the first and most important tasks in a high-asset divorce or any divorce is to determine which assets are marital and which are nonmarital. Generally, the assets that a spouse obtains before the marriage, and does not mingle with the other spouse’s assets, will remain nonmarital. It is important to work with an experienced divorce lawyer to make sure your interests are protected through this process.
  • Valuation: Especially in divorces between couples holding substantial assets, complications arise in determining the values of the various assets. Attorney Kelley A. Joseph can help you obtain fair valuations of businesses, real estate, personal property, retirement accounts, stocks and other investments.
  • Equity: In Florida, which is not a community property state, the court will not simply divide all of the assets equally. The court will set out an equitable distribution of property, which in some cases may not be an exact 50-50 split. For example, there may be compelling arguments for one spouse to retain exclusive possession of the marital home. Attorney Kelley A. Joseph will negotiate and fight for your best interests and the most equitable outcome possible.
