Jacksonville Property Division Attorney

Get Sound Legal Counsel for Your Divorce

Courts generally uphold property division agreements made between spouses if they are in writing and both parties have had the opportunity to consult with their own lawyers. If an arbitrator or judge makes the decision, property is divided equitably, which often means equally, but not always. There could possibly be an unequal division after all the relevant circumstances have been considered.

Factors the court will consider include:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The debts and liabilities of each spouse
  • The overall economic circumstances of each spouse
  • Whether minor children or either spouse will continue to live in the marital home
  • Each spouse's contribution to the marriage as provider, parent, or homemaker
  • Whether either spouse has intentionally wasted or destroyed marital assets within two years preceding or after the divorce petition
  • The contribution of either spouse to the career or education of the other spouse, and whether either spouse's career or education was interrupted during the marriage

    "Mr. Porter was very friendly and knowledgeable."
    Mr. Porter helped me in 2010 with a Breach of Contract case in which he was able to recover my earned commissions from my former employer. Mr. Porter was very friendly and knowledgeable in the area of Non Compete agreements which allowed for a quick settlement from my former employer. The staff was great and addressed my issues and questions in a timely fashion. I would recommend Mr. Porter to anyone that has a case in the areas he practices in.

    "I give them 5-stars!"
    I have always been anti-lawyers, but I love this law firm. I give them 5-stars! The lawyer in my case was Nicole Carlucci and her assistant Brenda. They would always take the time to talk to me and help me to understand whatever questions I had. She actually cared about my situation and there aren't enough stars for them. Brenda was very helpful. I would most definitely use them again and I recommend them to anyone that wants someone to fight for you in court. Thank you!

    "Aggressive and Compassionate. Highly Recommend."
    I'd been accused of something I did not do. My situation was a total nightmare. I consulted with Attorney Porter and he assured me that my tough situation could be handled. Attorney Gary Shumar tirelessly worked my case, while showing patience and empathy when I felt frustrated. Needless to say, my charges were dropped. I highly recommend this firm.
    - Nikki
    "Mr. Porter and his staff are fantastic."
    Mr. Porter and his staff are fantastic. They clearly explained the charges, potential outcomes and estimated timelines. They worked closely with me to tailor their services to my unique situation. The entire team demonstrated extensive knowledge of the law, flexibility, and responsiveness. These qualities helped put my mind at ease until they were able to get all charges against me dropped. I would highly recommend this law firm.
