Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I owned by house prior to marriage. I have been married less than a year, and he has lived in the house for a year. After I file divorce, how do I get him to leave the house when he is unwilling?

In the divorce papers assert that the house is not marital property, and that you owned it prior to the marriage. You should also file a Motion For Temporary Relief, which should in-part request exclusive possession of the home.

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.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
