Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I purchased a home while my husband & I were separated. I paid full down payment and all mortgage & Lot rent payments for 3 years. We lived together in the mobile home for 1 year. We are now divorcing. Is he entititled to 50% of home value?

Your inquiry isn't clear. If you were separated at the time the real property was purchase, and did not use marital funds to purchase it, then you might be able to argue the real property should not be considered a marital asset. However, you state that you both lived there for 1 year. Did you then reconcile.
Is he on the deed?
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 (Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco Counties) , I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation.
