You don't indicate whether you are both still living together or whether there is any acrimony. Generally, if one of you will be buying out the others interest in the house, they would probably be applying for a mortgage to buy out your half interest in the house (assuming the house was purchased during the marriage) and there is no mortgage on it at present. If all is peaceful between you, you can agree to a move out date. If the business is marital, presumably one of you would be buying out the other as well, which would probably be facilitated by having the business valued by a professional. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation, and your options.

You would leave when the house is sold or when the spouse buys you out of both the business and the house, in my opinion.

Have you considered Mediation? Mediation is Fast, Effective and Affordable, and because MEDIATION IS REQUIRED FOR EVERY DIVORCE or FAMILY LAW CASE IN FLORIDA, it may be a good option for you to consider at this time. Mediation can help you resolve your issues without the necessity of paying high fees for an attorney.
