The end of a marriage creates an uncertain future both personally and financially for you and your spouse. When it comes to dividing your property, you may have questions and concerns. After all, you want to start the next chapter of your life with a certain level of financial security.

Under Florida law, equitable division applies to marital property for couples ending their marriage. Various factors come into play, including the length of your union to your contributions in generating income to taking care of the family home.

A skilled attorney experienced in handling property division matters is essential to protecting your interests.

However, collaboration in property division is only as effective as both spouses participating in the process. When your soon-to-be ex-spouse refuses to come to the negotiation table, Christine S. Cook has the litigation skills needed to protect your interests in a court of law.
