Asked on Nov 05th, 2012 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
My husband walked out of our marriage of 4 years and moved back to Oklahoma. I live in Florida and have a house that was paid off long before he came along. We are not divorced and I want to sell my home and move. Is he entitled to any money if his name was not on this house? He won't even pay for 1/2 the divorce and has been gone since April.

His only potential interest in the house, which is your non-marital asset, is to the extent that the value of the house has increased as a result of marital funds or efforts being put into it. You may be able to sell it without giving him any money, but he will probably have to sign the deed transferring title to your buyers. If he refuses to do that voluntarily, you will need to get a court order requiring him to do so.
