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.

Abandonment is not a claim in a divorce as Florida is a No Fault state. It does not matter if one party has left the marital residence. Your rights to any property, including the residence, will not be compromised. All the petitioner has to say is that the marriage is irretrieveably broken and a divorce will be granted.
