Divorce · Marital Home · Pinellas & Hillsborough
When a marriage ends, the house is often the biggest asset and the hardest to split. Here’s how Florida law treats it, and how a clean, quick sale can take one fight off the table.
The short answer
In Florida the court starts from an equal split of marital assets, and a home owned as tenants by the entireties is presumed marital. A sale needs everyone on the title (or a court order). Many couples agree to sell, pay off the mortgage and liens at closing, and divide what’s left as their agreement or judgment says.

Pinellas County divorces are heard in Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit; Hillsborough County divorces in the Thirteenth. Deeds and recorded judgments are kept by each county’s Clerk (Pinellas Clerk, Hillsborough Clerk).
We are not attorneys, and this page isn’t legal advice — each spouse should have their own family-law attorney. What we can do is give both of you the same written offer and close on the date your agreement sets. Run the numbers first with the take-home cash calculator.
Everyone on the title has to sign the deed, unless a court orders the sale or awards the house to one spouse. A recorded judgment distributing assets acts like a deed in the county where the property is located.
Under Florida Statutes 61.075 the court starts from an equal division of marital assets and debts, and may divide them unequally based on factors such as each spouse’s contributions and economic circumstances. A home owned as tenants by the entireties is presumed marital.
