In a Florida divorce, all assets purchased after the marriage occurs are jointly split in a divorce. It doesn't matter who paid for the asset or whose name is on it. If the asset was purchased before the marriage, it generally stays in the name of the person who purchased it.

All assets acquired and debts incurred during the marriage are presumed marital. In reality VIsa, Master Card etc. will go after who is on the account.
