You do not need "abandonment" in order to obtain a divorce in Florida. If you (or your husband) have been a resident of Florida for at least 6 months, and the marriage is irretrievably broken, then you may file for divorce and seek sole parental rights and responsibilities immediately. He would need to be served with your divorce petition.
