If you and your spouse own a home or property and are filing for an Orlando divorce, you may see a Count for Partition in your Petition or Counter-Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Your experienced family law divorce attorney can help you understand that it may be necessary to ask the Court to order the sale of the home or property so that the equity (or debt) may be divided between you and your spouse. This can only be done if the Count for Partition is pled, or requested, in the Petition or Counter-Petition.
Whether or not to sell property during an Orlando divorce is a complicated and, often, emotional issue. Consult with your Orlando divorce lawyer so that he or she can advise you on how best to protect yourself financially regarding this and the other issues involved in your particular divorce. To schedule an initial consultation with Attorney Wade P. Luther of Family Law of Orlando, please contact our office by email or by calling (407) 835-9900.
