Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Disposition of Property

My wife and I are currently in divorce proceedings. Our house is being sold and the profits are being divided 50/50. Although there is no legal separation in FL, she was involved with 2 men in Europe, where she is from. Her passport shows she was out of the country for 8 months in 2001, and 5 months in 2003. During ther first separation, I purchased land in my name. When she left the second time, I sold that land, and with the profits put down a $50k deposit on a condo to be completed Nov/2004. All documents are in my name, and the paper trail has no mention of her name at all.

Her attorney is trying to say $25k belongs to my wife from sale of the land. Is this really a marital asset? Are there any precedents you can refer me to that can protect my condo from my wife? Thank you.
