Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I married my husband in 2013 and we moved onto a piece of property and home that is solely in his name. Due to decline in our relationship (he has symptoms of Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder-is verbally and emotionally abusive), he has demanded that I move out of his house and off his property and to take my horses too. I built the enclosure where my horses are and pay for all their feed and upkeep and it would likely have to give them away versus being able to afford boarding three horses. I began moving my personal belongings but am questioning why he has the right to force me off the property if we are married (other than my fearing for the welfare of both myself and the horses). We live in Pasco County, Florida

If the marriage is over, file for divorce. Once he is served, he risks severe sanctions if he takes any action to remove you or your horses from the property. However, you probably will have to eventually remove the horses.
If the horses were purchased during the marriage, they will be considered marital property.
An increase in the fair market value of the home due to renovations/improvements done during the marriage might entitle you to half of that added value.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
Call me to discuss the specifics of your case. I will give you a realistic idea as to the likely cost (fees and expenses). Then if you want, we can schedule a no-obligation office consultation.

Unless he added your name to the deed the property is not a marital asset.

Cannot answer given this limited information. For example it is important when the property was purchased, before or after marriage? You need to discuss this with an attorney who handles family law.
