Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Divorce,distribution of property
My wife and I signed a Quitclaim deed with the tax appraisers office at the time of our marriage. Upon a dissolution of marriage, what effect would that have on ownership of the home in the eyes of the court? Her name is the only one listed with the mortgage company, but I make 50 percent or greater payments from employment income. All other assets are co-mingled. Where can I find information concerning distribution of assets in a dissolution of marriage? Thank you.

Re: Divorce,distribution of property
You can try a law library or buy one of those self-help divorce books to learn about how distribution of property works in a divorce cases in Florida. Generally though, any property that has both your names on it or any property you acquired after you got married gets split evenly during the divorce. It doesn't matter who makes the most money or made more in payments. Even if you made money during the marriage then put it into a separate account, it still gets evenly split.
If both your names are on the house, the proceeds from its sale get evenly split.
