Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am married and we have been seperated for two. We have a car in our name which she has and drives. She told me I by law have to keep and pay insurance on the car because we are not legally divorce. Do I have to keep insurance or do I have the right to cancle and have her get insurance and pay for it.

Florida does not have a separation agreement. I suggest you file for divorce. IN the meantime, you do need to keep insurance on the car since it is in both your names however I am not sure there is a law stating that you have to pay. I do know that when you do file for divorce, there is a standing family law order issued that states that what is now in effect must stay in effect - eaning you can not cancel car insurance, change bank accounts, assets etc until the day of divorce.
