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

    "You couldn't find a better lawyer anywhere."
    I haven't had a lot of legal problems in my life but enough to truly evaluate my attorneys. By far Jason Porter makes you feel like you are his only client. He knows the law and the legal loop holes. To boot he is a heck of a nice guy. You can trust him with your life. You feel that he loves his work and really cares about you. You couldn't find a better lawyer anywhere.

    "Thanks for everything!"
    I had contacted Mr. Porter’s office after being in a car accident and having no success on my own with the insurance adjusters. Mr. Porter and his entire staff were all very engaged, expedient and supportive while working on my case. Any questions that I had, I could make a phone call and Hildy or Dani would be on the other end making things make sense to me. Ultimately, they delivered a great outcome that I was happy with. It was a huge weight off my shoulders to have the knowledge and support of Mr. Porter and his staff while navigating through the stress of everything that must be handled after a car accident. In the unfortunate event that I find myself in another similar situation, I won’t hesitate to pick up the phone and give them a call back! Thanks for everything!

    "Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand."

    When I got into an accident, I didn't think I needed a lawyer. However, everything was so confusing and the insurance company was being very pushy. Once I decided I needed to contact a lawyer, I wasn't sure who to call. On the recommendation of a friend who had used him in the past and had a very good experience, I called Jason Porter. I was given an appointment the next day and it was during that appointment I knew I had contacted the right law firm. Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand. He assured me that I would not need to do anything but to get better and he was right! He and his amazing paralegal handled everything so I didn't have to deal with all of the confusion of the insurance company while trying to heal from the injuries I sustained in the accident. Ultimately my case was settled with the insurance company and I received a very fair settlement. I am hoping I never have to use a lawyer again, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Mr. Porter again.

    "The best attorneys you will find. I love you guys!"
    Two very scary DUI cases in my life. The first involved a wreck, the second with a very high BAC. Jason Porter and Gary Shumard, you are both so very amazing and you have saved me so much havoc on these cases. Reduced to reckless on the first, and on the second, saved me from having the interlock system order in my car, another 10 days of immobilization, and more jail time. From the beginning, these two kept my anxieties calm through this process and the outcomes took all that load off. If you are financially strapped, trust me, they will work with you on that too. Sincerely.
