Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Husband wants to file for divorce. Marital residence was mortgaged by husband before marriage- however, the house was paid off in a lump sum (over 80K) during the course of marriage. Monies used was husbands' savings, of which some $ was saved during marriage. I have been unemployed during our marriage, attending school full time. However, I use my savings to pay for household expenses including electric, homeowner's association, groceries; etc.

Is property still considered sole property of my husband and not divisible during divorce- or because mortgage was paid off during course of marriage make a difference? We've been married close to 3 years- no children.

It is likely a marital asset although it is somewhat of a mixed bag.

Use of a lawyer is recommended.
