Evicting Spouse In Florida

Summary

If you bought a house before marriage in Florida, it is usually considered separate property. However, if it became the primary residence after marriage, it might be considered marital property. If your spouse refuses to leave, you may need to file for eviction, but this can be complex if the home is marital property. Legal advice from a family law attorney is strongly recommended.
