What Is Nonmarital Property Under Florida Divorce Law?

For purposes of property division in a Florida divorce, nonmarital property generally falls into three categories. It includes anything that you or your spouse:

1. Owned prior to the marriage and has been maintained as separate property during the marriage
2. Received at any time during your marriage as a gift from a third party or by inheritance and has been maintained as separate property
3. Earned by or received from marital labor after the divorce papers are filed
