Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Florida divorce: my soon to be ex gave me $700 a month as a verbal agreement in exchange for me paying living expenses throughout the 23 month marriage. I put this money in my checking account which is only in my name. Her attorney has argued that the money in my account is now commingled. All of my research only mentions joint accounts with commingled funds. Since the account in question is only in my name are the funds in fact commingled? If so can I still argue for an equitable distribution in my favor since $700 was a fraction of monthly living expenses?

It is possible that the attorney is correct. I would have to argue that in court to say they were not. However, you still have the right to argue for an equitable distribution. The judge may take into account that you have been paid part of that through the payment of the 700.00 a month toward your living expenses.
