Maybe. There is no status called separation in Florida. You are either married, or you are not. You should review the matter with your family law attorney. You should also have a real estate attorney represent you in the purchase of the home.
What is the process if I am unable to pay the spousal agreement? Does he get a judgment, like a creditor would, and go from there or would the court somehow be involved with enforcing it even though it was not court ordered, just filed with the courts as a divorce agreement.

answered on Jan 18, 2023
First, the agreement will be interpreted according to California law. In Florida, the first step would be to go to court on an enforcement action.

The first question is this: what did the divorce decree provide regarding who was to get the vehicle?
Assuming he got the vehicle in the divorce, she would have no grounds for objecting to his transferring it to himself.

Paying off your house presumably will reduce your monthly expenses which if anything should give you more... Read more »

There is no requirement for you to have a lawyer to file a modification. You will be expected to follow all of the rules that apply. If your situation continues to be contentious then expect it to be that way for the modification as well. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.

The husband was on the deed, his father passed away, he sold the house, paid inheritance taxes in the state of Pennsylvania.

answered on Dec 5, 2022
An inheritance initially is a non-marital asset belonging only to the person who inherited. It can lose that non-marital nature by commingling (mixing) with marital assets. This issue can be complex. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
