Re: Common Law Relationship in Florida
This is no such thing as a common law marriage or relationship in Florida. The manner in which you acquired the property defines whether the other party has any use rights. For example if you both boght a car together, then you both would have equal rights to use of the same. Also, separation has no legal effect in Florida.

no
Re: Common Law Relationship in Florida
Generally the answer is no. However, if the other party has made significant contributions to the household there may be cause for an equitable distribution of assets or "reimbursement" if you will.
You should probably get a consultation with a family law attorney to discuss your specific situation and get specific answers.
