Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I am currently living with my significant other. We were engaged in NY for 8 years, but he never followed thru on his promise to marry. I left him but we continued to see each other until I moved to FL in 2011. One year later he followed me down here with the promise of marraige, a house, & financial support. Now he says he isn't going to marry me or put 1/2 the houuse in my name or provide for me in any way. Many witnesses heard him promise these things. We were together a total of 15 years. I am on disability and cannot afford to leave with nothing AGAIN. I also declared bankruptcy on his advice as a condition to our getting married. This has caused untold mental anguish for me. Do I have any options? Please help.

Unfortunately you moved to a state that doesn't recognize common law marriage and you legally have no rights to the house or half of his income. It's best to cut your losses and move on.
Agree with counsel's answer you have no remedy in FL.
