Florida does not honor common law marriages unless from 1968. Therefore, no you can not take the vehicle. The only way you will be able to leave with any items would be if you can prove that you paid for the items. YOu will have to take him to civil court in order to do that.

Unless you can prove you paid for the vehicle, no.
