Divorce can have significant tax and financial complications, especially if one spouse is unaware of the family’s financial situation. Gordon and Carin guide their clients through the complicated process to find, identify, value, and distribute assets and liabilities, both marital and non marital.
Florida is an "equitable distribution" state. This means that property is divided equitably and fairly. This may or may not mean that assets are divided "equally". Marital property includes any assets acquired by either spouse during the course of the marriage, and includes pension and retirement benefits. Ultimately, the goal is to arrive at a distribution that is fair and equitable to both spouses. If outside assistance is needed, Brydger & Porras has a full support network of legal, tax and investigative professionals.
