Florida is a get-your-life-in-order state. You’re either married or you’re not. You may have been legally separated
elsewhere, but to buy a house in Florida,
your spouse has to sign some documents, even if that person is not going to be
on the note.
Let’s say you move to sunny Florida for a fresh start with a new fiancé and want to purchase a home. That’s fine, but keep in mind that Florida does not recognize “legally separated,” and the bonds of matter-money tie you back to your “legally separated” spouse when you go to borrow money. Once the love is gone, it’s just business.
It may not be good
business. Now’s the time to discover how
very amicable that separation is. Thus
you could be motivated to tidy up unfinished matters. A divorce may be a prerequisite to a home
purchase. The court cannot mend a broken
heart, but it may enable to you to move on with your life.
