You do not provide nearly enough information to answer your question specifically, but generally, any assets or liabilities acquired during the marriage are presumed to be marital assets and marital liabilities subject to equitable distribution by the court in a divorce proceeding. There are also exceptions. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation and your options.

It doesn't depend on who starts the process. Any division is by agreement or by the Judges decision. Impossible to determine percentages.

In Florida, marital assets and debts are equitably distributed. Pursuant to Section 61.075(1) of the Florida Statutes, "in distributing the marital assets and liabilities between the parties, the court must begin with the premise that the distribution should be equal, unless there is a justification for an unequal distribution". Since each divorce case is fact-specific, it would truly serve your interests to consult with a divorce attorney in your area for further guidance specific to your particular circumstances. Good luck!

You can get half of any marital assets and debts that were acquired during the marriage, in most cases. However, your question is really vague, so it is impossible to really answer. You should consult with an attorney in order to best determine your potential rights and options in the event of a divorce.
