How is property divided in Florida?

The division of assets and liabilities in a dissolution of marriage action typically and generally goes as follows: assets and liabilities are segregated into two separate piles. One pile is the non-marital pile. The other pile is the martial pile. The non-marital pile typically consists of assets and liabilities which were accrued outside of the marriage, either owned prior to the marriage, or inherited during the marriage and always kept separately. They typically stay with the party who owns them or owes them. 
The marital pile consists of assets and liabilities that are typically accrued during the marriage, or appreciation of other assets, that occurred during the marriage. That pile of marital assets and liabilities is typically divided between the parties, usually equally. It’s a little more complicated than that, but that’s the general scenario for the division of assets and liabilities in a dissolution of marriage action.
