Valuing Property for Settlements Now and in the Future
With Florida being a separate property state, both parties in a divorce must prove ownership or agree on who will have ownership of property. While settlements dealing with tangible items from kitchen appliances to cars may be reached with little effort, determining possession of more complex items is more difficult.
That includes retirement accounts and businesses that need valuation. Both spouses may be entitled to a portion of that growing asset. As the value increases over time, the balance could shift in one spouse's direction.

At Mike Dyer Law, we recognize the complexity of finding a middle ground in a property settlement that includes 401ks and company ownership.

Although, marital property will be divided equally. For aggressive advocacy in complicated division of asset matters, contact us at (561) 801-6453.
Equitable Distribution
For most divorces, the court will order that there be an equitable distribution of property. This does not necessarily mean that your property will be split evenly. Instead, if one spouse is going to have a more difficult time supporting the lifestyle to which he or she has become accustomed, that spouse will receive a larger portion of the property.
Our West Palm Beach asset protection attorneys understand that it is possible for this concept to be skewed. In some cases, the court may be convinced that one of the spouses will require a larger portion of the property. If this is untrue, however, our practice will fight to make sure that you receive the portion that you deserve.
Is Your Property Marital, Nonmarital or Commingled?
Was the property, asset or debt acquired prior to the marriage? Is it still discernible? This means, can it still be identified or has it been so intertwined with marital assets or debts that it cannot be specifically identified? Is your property inherited? Is your property commingled? Is your property a business? Was this business formed during the marriage? Do you receive passive or active income from that business? What are the tax ramifications of the asset and debt division scheme?
Our property division attorneys are experienced at representing men and women in property classification matters to determine whether property is marital or nonmarital and if separate property has been commingled or remained separate.
Protecting What Is Yours
When our clients are going through a divorce, we serve as their advocates in property distribution disputes.

Complexities arise when both spouses contribute to a bank account opened before the marriage by one spouse. Other issues can arise because retirement accounts can increase in value over time. Bringing in financial experts helps us build your division of property case based on the facts.
Fighting For Your Rights in Mediation and Litigation
Money and possessions can change the makeup of a divorce. Cooperation is replaced by a bitter battle over tangible items, some of significant value. Mediation is a preferred venue, but we do not shy away from the courtroom if it is in our clients' best interests.
