Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

The marital estate owns the assets that you purchased after you got married. You are each responsible for the debts you incurred before you got married.

Say the husband had $10,000 worth of credit card debt when he got married and the wife had none. After marriage, the couple buys a house which, during the divorce, the judge orders them to sell. The house nets a $50,000 profit which the couple splits, per the judge. The ex-wife keeps her whole $25,000 from the house profit. The ex-husband may have to pay off his premarital credit card debt of $10,000 from his $25,000 house profit, but that may be up to him as to how he spends his money.
