Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: Unmarried Couple Seperating

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Prior to filing suit, both parties may wish to meet with a professional mediator to try and resolve the dispute. If the parties cannot agree among themselves, you will need to file an action for partition in order to have the rights of the parties in regards to the residence. You should be able to get the court to address the other issues at the same time.

A partition action is the remedy.
