What Is Marital Waste?
| Posted on May 28, 2015 at 9:59 AM |
Many
of our clients come to us for assistance during divorce proceedings. Although
Florida is a “no-Fault” state with regard to adultery most of the time, one
common by-product of infidelity is Marital Waste. Marital
Waste is defined in Florida Statutes as: “The
intentional dissipation, waste, depletion, or destruction of marital assets
after the filing of the petition or within 2 years prior to the filing of the
petition.” For
the sake of clarity, “petition” referenced above refers to a filing of a
Dissolution of Marriage Petition. So, how does this affect your case, you may
ask? From
an infidelity angle, if your spouse is maintaining an adulterous affair in
Florida and spends money on the paramour, it could be considered marital waste.
Perhaps your spouse buys the paramour an expensive ring or jewelry. Or maybe
your spouse takes expensive vacations with the other woman or man. If marital
assets (read that as “your shared money”) are used to fund these endeavors or
purchases, it could be considered to be marital waste. Often,
we private investigators uncover instances of marital waste during our
investigations and surveillance. You may not be able to recover damages just
because your spouse is cheating on you, but you may be able to get your share
of the money spent by your spouse on his or her paramour. Marital
waste can also take the form of destruction of marital property and concealment
of marital property. A private investigator can assist is locating and
identifying assets and property you didn’t realize you owned. It
isn’t always easy to detect and prove marital waste, but it certainly should be
looked at in any infidelity matter. (NOTE: We are not attorneys and do not give
