Scott Aron Stewart v. Mishelle Addys Perdomo Vindel

Summary

The court held that section 61.075 authorizes a trial court to award prejudgment interest as an equitable remedy in distributing marital property. Such an award is discretionary rather than automatic and depends on facts showing that it would achieve equity between the parties. The court approved the decision below and remanded for reconsideration of the prejudgment-interest issue under that standard.
