Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I have been married for 5 years. I have 1 child from a previous marriage. My husband has 4 children from two previous relationships. The two youngest children visit us once per month and alternating holidays. They miss their Fall visits due to sports and living 2 hours away. Our marriage has been rocky for the last 3.5 years basically and I am DONE. I told my husband I plan to move into the spare room, which has been his office/junk room/2 kids room since living in the house. I can't recall the last time his kids slept in their bed at our house because he had so much crap on the beds and was too lazy to move it. He is now trying to tell me that my child's room will now be an all kids room if I move in the spare room. My child lives in our house year round. He is mean and next to impossible to deal with. I have no money to leave him or I would have been long gone. Our lease goes through 3/31/10, so I am stuck. Can I put locking doorknobs on my child's room and the spare room with no legal ramifications?

You have a marriage of short duration. What do you expect to gain from this marriage. You have no children together and if you are leasing property to live in, then you do not own a home together. On the bright side, if he is mean to you and your child, this is a form of domestic violence. File a domestic violence action and remove him from the current home. Ask for support and maintenance along with possession of the marital residence and furnishings. Then file for your divorce and move on.
