Equitable distribution in Orange and Osceola County divorces means that marital property will be divided in an equitable or fair manner. The statute that governs the distribution of property (assets and liabilities) during a divorce requires that all property of the parties be defined as marital or non-marital.  Once defined, the statute establishes a presumption of equal distribution of the assets and liabilities and defines the criteria for the justification of an unequal distribution if applicable.  Finally, the statute provides a framework for accomplishing the equitable distribution of the property.

During divorces in which the distribution of property is contested, an experienced Orange County or Osceola County divorce attorney is invaluable.  If you are concerned about property and equitable distribution during your Orange County divorce or Osceola County divorce, contact Family Law of Orlando to schedule an initial consultation with Attorney Wade P.
