Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Settlement
I recently filed for divorce. The only asset we need to divide is the house. I want 45% of the equity and appreciation. My husband thinks he should get even more because he had approximately $40k when we were married. He paid $12k just before we got married on my student loans. The remainder went to a house we bought a year and a half after getting married. We have no children. Is he entitled to anything more than 50% and should I be concerned if he hires an attorney?

Re: Settlement
Dividing property is a complex process where many different factors are taken into consideration. But the short answer is yes it is possible that he is entitled to more then 50%.
If your husband hires an attorney I would strongly suggest that you hire one as well. Other questions you need to ask are is their a current apprasial on the house? Do you want to re-finance and buy him out?
Re: Settlement
You should already have an attorney because he probably already has one. Your attorney will review the facts and tell you how you stand in this.
