Re: marraige and divorce
There is no common law marriage in Florida. So, you are still divorced.
Note that if you retained an attorney to draft a settlement agreement for you in the divorce action, it is possible that there is some provision in the agreement that discusses the consequences of reconciliation.

No. You remain divorced. Florida does not (currently) recognize any form of common law marriage.
