Transcript:
Hello and welcome to 60 Seconds with Sergio.I am your host, Sergio Cabanas, Attorney-at-Law here in Florida. Thank you for joining me today.
Today's question is: "Sergio, what exactly is this concept of abandonment when it comes to divorce?"
So I've actually had this question come up a lot, many clients are asking, if one of the spouses leaves the marital home, whether or not they lose important legal rights in a subsequent divorce when it comes to the house and/or the children.
The short answer to this question is simply this: There is no such thing as abandonment under Florida divorce law.
Let me say that again, there is no such thing as a concept of abandonment, compromising your legal rights, in a divorce, under Florida law.
So, you and/or your spouse may choose to leave the home at any time, with or without the children, without compromising your legal rights.
In fact, if you believe that you and/or the children are involved in a situation where there is some type of emotional, mental, verbal, physical abuse, any type of abuse whatsoever, you're encouraged to separate as quickly as possible, in order to get out of this toxic relationship.
And, of course, you will not lose any legal rights doing so.
I hope this short video provided you some guidance over this very important area of the law.
Thank you again for joining me today. And as always, stay informed so you can stay strong.
