Protecting Your Financial Interests During Divorce and Equitable Distribution.

Experienced guidance for marital asset division, equitable distribution, business interests, retirement accounts, and complex property disputes throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County.

Dividing property in a divorce can be one of the most important parts of the case. Monica I. Salis, P.A., helps clients throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County protect their financial interests during property division and equitable distribution.


Florida follows equitable distribution, which means marital assets and debts are divided fairly, not always equally. This may include the family home, bank accounts, retirement accounts, vehicles, investment accounts, business interests, personal property, and marital debt.


Our firm helps you understand what is marital, what may be separate, and how to pursue a fair outcome. If your case involves substantial wealth or business ownership, visit our High-Asset Divorce page for additional guidance.

Protecting What You Built

Property division can become complicated when assets were acquired before marriage, mixed during marriage, inherited, gifted, hidden, or tied to a business.


We help organize financial records, identify key issues, and advocate for a resolution that reflects your legal rights and financial priorities. Clients who want to proactively protect assets before or during marriage may also benefit from pre- and postnuptial agreements.
