Does Divorce Affect Net Worth in Florida?

Yes, divorce can affect net worth in Florida. Florida is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital assets are typically split 50/50, but the presiding court determines the fair distribution. However, a judge may consider other factors, such as the financial circumstances of each spouse, to determine another proportion. 

For example, a judge may award an asset to one spouse if it's difficult to split, such as real estate or a business, and grant an equally valuable asset to the other spouse.

How Long Does a Divorce Take in Florida?

A divorce in Florida can take between 30 days and several years, depending on whether it is contested or uncontested and the county and judge. On average, an uncontested divorce takes three months, while a contested divorce takes 12 months.
