Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
divorce
Can filing a divorce with the court serve the same purpose as an eviction notice to the respondant to vacate the home in a certain amount of time.
In other words if the respondant refuses to leave the home within that time will the law recognize the divorce petition on file and demand that the respondant leave the shared home.

Re: divorce
A divorce petition is the equivalent of an eviction notice. Either party can request that the other one leave the home but there is no guarantee as to whether the court will grant the request.
