| 1 | Determination of Marital/nonmarital assets or liabilities [Florida]Mr. Hamilton contends, first, that the trial court incorrectly classified more than $50,000 of credit card debt as non-marital debt, resulting in an unequal and unjust distribution of the parties' assets. A marital asset is defined by statute as "[a]ssets and liabilities incurred during the marriage, individually by either spouse or jointly by them." § 61.075(6)(a)1, Fla. Stat.

| 1 | Dissipation of Marital Assets [Florida]The irrevocable trust strategy is not bullet proof. In Collier v.
