Household Appliances in a Divorce -

    Florida law requires a 50/50 split of assets most of the time.  But the court can allocate property to the spouse that has current possession or typically uses that item the most.

    One factor the court will consider is whether one person will naturally benefit from a particular item - more than the other person.  In the case of appliances, the person getting the house will realize more value from appliances than the other person.  That doesn't mean an overall unequal split.  If one person gets the appliances the other will receive more than half of something else.

    There is no established treatment of appliances.  Either side can attempt to get the appliances, or if not wanted,  distribute them to the other.  Remember, the dollar value of each appliance must be established.  A value can be determined by either a reasonable "guesstimate", someone knowledgeable about used appliance sales, or from recent purchase receipts.
