Your Estimate
This estimate applies the equal-distribution presumption of Fla. Stat. § 61.075. Actual results depend on correct marital/non-marital classification, asset valuation, and statutory factors that can justify an unequal split. This is a planning tool, not legal advice.
Make sure the classification and values are right
The biggest swings in a Florida divorce come from what counts as marital and how assets like a home, business, or retirement are valued. Pazos Law Group can review your numbers.

Florida divides property by equitable distribution under Fla. Stat. § 61.075, which begins with the presumption that the net marital estate should be split equally (50/50). The process has three steps: (1) classify each asset and debt as marital or non-marital; (2) value the marital items; and (3) distribute them, starting from equal and adjusting only for statutory reasons.
“Equitable” means fair, not automatically equal — but in practice, equal is the baseline, and a spouse seeking more must prove a statutory basis for an unequal split.
Marital vs. Non-Marital Property
- Marital — generally assets and debts acquired during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the title, plus the increase in value of some non-marital assets due to marital effort or funds.
- Non-marital — generally what you owned before the marriage, or received by gift or inheritance, and kept separate. Do not enter these in the calculator.
- Commingling warning — depositing an inheritance or pre-marital funds into a joint account can convert non-marital property into marital property. This is one of the most common and costly classification mistakes.
When a Florida Court Orders an Unequal Split
Under Fla. Stat. § 61.075(1), a court can depart from 50/50 based on factors including each spouse’s economic circumstances and contribution to the marriage, the contribution of one spouse to the other’s career or education, the desirability of keeping an asset (such as a business or the marital home for the children) intact and free from interference, and the intentional dissipation, waste, or destruction of marital assets after the filing or within the two years before it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is property divided in a Florida divorce?
Under Fla. Stat. § 61.075, Florida starts from an equal 50/50 split of the net marital estate after classifying and valuing marital assets and debts. Non-marital property kept separate is not divided.
What is an equalizing payment?
When spouses keep different assets, the one holding more than half of the net estate pays or transfers value to the other so both end up with an equal share. This calculator estimates that payment.
What counts as marital vs. non-marital property?
Marital is generally what was acquired during the marriage; non-marital is generally what you owned before or received by gift or inheritance and kept separate. Commingling can convert non-marital property to marital under § 61.075.
Does Florida always split 50/50?
No — 50/50 is the starting presumption. A court may order an unequal split under § 61.075 for reasons such as dissipation of assets, disparate economic circumstances, or keeping a business intact.
