Tampa, FL asked in Divorce, Family Law and Probate for Florida

Q: My husband left me and moved his paramour into our house before he was off probation. He thinks he's going to keep it.

My husband inherited a house from his mother while he was in prison. We had lived in the home with his mother as a married couple and our son was conceived there. The plan was to reunite as a family once he got off oMy husband inherited a house from his mother while he was in prison. We had lived in the home with his mother as a married couple and our son was conceived there. The plan was to reunite as a family once he got off Probation and we were allowed to live together again. Before he even got off probation he had moved his paramour into the home with her two children. He's now supporting an unemployed mother and her two offspring and provides NOTHING to his son. Do I have any claim on the home even though it was inherited while we were separated due to his incarceration?
