Dividing Property Fairly During Divorce

Florida is an equitable-distribution state — but 'fair' doesn't always mean 'equal'. The right strategy makes the difference.

Dividing real estate, assets, and debts in divorce isn't always straightforward — especially if you and your spouse disagree on how property should be divided. Most often, you need an attorney to assist with the issues that arise. You can turn to The Law Offices of Patrick L. Cordero for guidance, support, and advocacy. We work with clients in Miami and throughout South Florida in divorce, property division, and related family-law issues.

Dividing Assets and Debts in a Property Settlement

Florida is an equitable-distribution state (not a community-property state) when it comes to property division. That means property is divided fairly — but it's important to understand that "fairly" does not always mean "equally". If you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement, the court will look at your situation and make a fair decision based on the circumstances of your case.

We can help with valuing your estate, including asset and business valuation. Once the value of your property is determined, we explain how the unique circumstances of your situation could impact the court's decision — and we negotiate or litigate accordingly.

A Unique Approach to Every Case

One of the benefits of working with our firm is that we tailor our services to your specific needs. We recognize that every divorce case is different, which is why we approach every situation from a unique perspective. High-net-worth divorces, hidden assets, business interests, real estate portfolios — we handle the full range.
