Comprehensive, Empathetic Resources For You

As attorneys and as people, we’ve seen the difficulties facing anyone going through divorce. We are absolutely empathetic to the personal challenges this experience raises, but we have a job to do for you. We watch out for your needs in every aspect of divorce, especially in the spousal support and complex asset division process that accompanies a high-wealth divorce.

But what are “complex assets?” They are the valuable, wealth-generating assets you developed over your career. Assets such as:

• Small businesses: There are very few assets as complicated and detailed as a small business. Between the assets of the business, when the company was created and how much time your spouse put into the business, if any, there could be any number of ways your divorce impacts the company.

• Investment accounts: An investment account is an asset that can generate a significant portion of your worth. It could be a personal one, an employer-managed retirement account or some other investment, but regardless of whether you’ve contributed money made during the marriage to it, it may be part of the divorce conversation.

• Trusts: If you are the beneficiary of a trust, in most cases, that will not be a part of the asset division. However, there are some potential ways that the usage of a trust over a long marriage may open it to impact from the property division aspect of your divorce.

• Property: From the family home to luxury vacation homes and even investment properties, real estate is a major point of contention in all asset divisions. Property ties up a great deal of wealth and unlike many other assets, generally gains value as time goes on.

• Personal possessions: Many of our clients are in possession of rare, important pieces of art or jewelry, or they may have collected classic cars or even valuable pop culture items such as comics or toys. These possessions can be assessed for significant value, and if they were acquired during the marriage, they are open to discussion in property division.

The complex assets that you may have to consider for division are nearly always the ones that are the most valuable. However, just because it may be part of the asset division discussion, it does not mean you will have to divide them.

Florida’s Equitable Division Law

Florida does not divide assets equally between both spouses in divorce. Instead, Florida looks deeper into each relationship and creates a property division plan that makes sense for that couple. The court will consider the following factors during this process:

• The length of the marriage
• Relative contributions to the marital estate
• Any bad acts on the part of either side (infidelity, concealing assets)
• The age of the parties
• The health of the parties
• Minor children and their custody

The division of the marital estate must be fair. But fair is a constantly changing factor, and we will argue for what’s fair for you with attention to detail and experienced litigation tactics.
