Parties are not always aware of the full extent of their rights or the laws surrounding a dissolution of marriage in Florida. Even couples that agree to the divorce or legal separation can start a case off amicably, but then enter into bitter disputes over assets or matters concerning children. Florida is an equitable distribution state, meaning that all marital property will be divided fairly, but not necessarily evenly. Several factors will be considered, including the length of the marriage and the contribution each spouse has made, but there are many times in which parties had a right to obtain a particular asset and were denied this right. The same confusing and intricate laws apply to matters such as spousal support or child custody arrangements. If parties are unaware of what to expect during proceedings or what they are entitled to, they may lose out on alimony or having joint or even full custody of their children.
