Does Leaving the Marriage Mean Losing Everything?

In this LawCall Panama City episode, Perry & Young attorney Ted Howell explains what happens when one spouse walks out and then asks for a divorce. Just because they left doesn’t mean they lose all rights—Florida is an equitable distribution state, meaning assets are divided fairly, not based on who left. Judges aim for balance, even if one spouse files by default.
