Can I sell a house in a divorce in Broward County?
Yes. A cash sale gives both spouses one clear number, no showings, and a closing date you can write into the settlement. Both owners on the deed sign, and the title company can hold or split the proceeds as your agreement or court order directs.
In Broward County, that means working with the Broward County Clerk of Court's records and a Florida title company we close with regularly.
How divorce works in Broward County
Here's how a divorce case usually moves in Broward County. Knowing where you are on this timeline tells you how much room you have to sell.
Petition filed
Divorce in Florida is filed in the family division of the Broward County Circuit Court (17th Judicial Circuit). Florida requires at least 20 days between filing and final judgment (s. 61.19).
Equitable distribution
Marital assets, including the home, are divided equitably under s. 61.075 — not always 50/50, but fairly.
Decide on the house
One spouse buys out the other, you sell and split, or the court orders a sale if you can't agree.
Sign the contract
Everyone on title signs. If there's a court order, the sale follows it.
Close and split
The title company pays the mortgage and divides the rest exactly as the agreement says.
