You have no marriage. You have the right to what is yours and he has the right to what is his. If you own things jointly, you each have the right to use it (sell it and split the $ or agree who gets what).

There is no common law marriage in Florida, so you have no rights, except in so far as you both own something jointly (e.g. both are on title to car, house, etc.). I have a blog post on "advice for unmarried couples," on my website: http://floridawillmaker.com/
