Florida operates under the rule of “equitable distribution” when it comes to dividing marital assets and liabilities.

Another option for those concerned about marital property division lies in creating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. These agreements will predetermine how assets are to be divided in a divorce. They are especially applicable to those who are thinking of divorce but uncertain if the relationship can be saved. A postnuptial agreement will take off any pressure to file for divorce while you and your spouse work on your relationship. The establishment of asset and debt division will be one less cause of conflict.
