I ask if i could speak and was told 'NO' by the judge, as a result I am living in my car and have no funds to feed myself. what are my rights as far as defending myself and speaking on my behalf? I live in florida

Have your lawyer file a motion for rehearing. You should have been able to have your lawyer present, and you had an absolute right to speak. You should also consider appealing.
Sorry for your dilemna. However, there is not enough info as to why the judge would not allow you to speak or why you were removed from the home. I suggest you do as Mr. Rose suggest, file a Motion for a rehearing on the matter. IN the meantime you should file a Petition for Temporary Support as well.
