In some cases a spouse may try to raid assets, hide money or spend money prior to a Florida divorce. If this happens, it is important to for individuals to know they may reach out to a Florida family law court for help.
While divorcing, a spouse may remove reasonable items including personal property, work items, and personal jewelry. However, spouses should not typically remove items including valuable furniture, fixtures, paintings and other valuables without a family court's consideration.
Even worse, some spouses may try to remove all financial assets by clearing out a joint bank account. This is usually considered against the law in Florida since marital assets are usually split 50-50.
If an individual feels a spouse is unfairly removing assets and/or property, he or she should consider filing a motion before a family court judge. The motion should request the court to stop the transfer or removing of any other assets. An individual may also request for the property and assets to be safeguarded during the divorce.
