Definition: Property interests classified as marital under Florida's equitable-distribution law, including many assets acquired during marriage and specified contributions or enhancements.
Example
A home purchased during marriage with marital funds may be marital property even if only one spouse appears on title.
Keep the distinction clear
Not everything received during marriage is automatically marital; qualifying inheritances and gifts may be nonmarital. Classification also differs from how legal title is held.
