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 really took years of stress off my shoulder and I can finally have clarity in my mind."
    Over the past month or so I had made a call to the Law offices of Jason Porter because I needed to resolve an issue that occurred over 7 years ago. Once I explained the situation the secretary sent me directly to Jonathan Thacher. All I can say is that Thacher did an amazing job handling my case and I am extremely happy right now. I no longer have to worry about that problem ever again thanks to Thacher. The work was effective and everything went through perfectly. Thank you so much man you really took years of stress off my shoulder and I can finally have clarity in my mind.

    "Aggressive and Compassionate. Highly Recommend."
    I'd been accused of something I did not do. My situation was a total nightmare. I consulted with Attorney Porter and he assured me that my tough situation could be handled. Attorney Gary Shumar tirelessly worked my case, while showing patience and empathy when I felt frustrated. Needless to say, my charges were dropped. I highly recommend this firm.

    "He is a seasoned professional that is respected within the law community."

    I first met Jason Porter in 2003, when our children attended a Christian Preschool together. I saw what he did within our community. He helped many of the families from the preschool over the years so when it came time that my family needed a lawyer I chose him. Jason has helped my family and several of my personal friends, all with positive outcomes. He is a seasoned professional that is respected within the law community. You will be treated with the utmost respect and compassion. I don't know another lawyer of his caliber that offers free consultations and you speak to him personally. Pick Porter.
