Meticulous appraisal of large family law marital estates
Florida is an “equitable distribution” state, which means marital property is divided in a manner that the family law court deems “fair.” This involves a three-step process of identifying the marital property, appraising its value and dividing it between the two parties.
Each step in family law involves attention to points, such as:
- whether the property is part of the marital estate or the sole possession of one spouse
- the fair market value for any given asset
- whether to liquidate assets that are difficult to divide
- the tax consequences of dividing certain financial assets
In family law cases John D. Fernandez, P.A. utilizes the services of skilled forensic accountants to find and value assets and create a distribution plan that upholds your rights to a truly equitable share.
Post-divorce enforcement of the family law court’s judgment
Unfortunately, in family law spousal conflict does not always end with a divorce decree. The judgment of the family law court is often violated, either deliberately or because of an inability to comply. John D. Fernandez, P.A. represents parties seeking to enforce terms such as spousal support or petition for modifications due to changed circumstances.
