Equitable Distribution in Florida
Florida is an 'equitable distribution' state, meaning marital assets and liabilities are divided fairly, though not always equally. The marital home is often one of the largest assets to be addressed.

Options for the Marital Home
Spouses generally have three options: one spouse buys out the other, they continue to co-own the property, or they sell the property and divide the proceeds according to their agreement or court order.
Selling to Divide Assets
When selling during a divorce, cooperating on showings, repairs, and agent selection can be challenging. A direct cash sale is sometimes chosen to finalize the transaction quickly and reduce ongoing shared expenses.
