Most people think this is abandonment. They're wrong.
Your husband left. He stopped paying the rent. He no longer helps with the kids or household expenses.
Many people assume that means abandonment under Florida law.
But here's the surprising part: leaving the home is not one of the grounds for divorce in Florida.
In fact, Florida only recognizes two grounds for divorce:
✔️ Irreconcilable differences
✔️ Mental incapacity of a spouse
Just because your spouse moved out doesn't mean they've abandoned the marriage or given up their property rights.
If you're facing separation or divorce and aren't sure what your rights are, understanding the law can make all the difference.
