Just so you know:
A "common law marriage" is one in which the parties may hold themselves out as a husband and wife, and under certain circumstances, be deemed married without a marriage license or ceremony. Florida doesn't have a common law marriage, however Florida does recognize common law marriages that occurred in other states.
this being said, was your common law marriage recognized in another state that allows common law and if so, yes, you have some rights.
