Florida, if a car is purchased after a divorce is filed is that car marital property.

It depends. Did you use marital funds to purchase it? For example, there were money in a savings account, accumulated during marriage that you used to purchase the car, than it is marital. However, if after the divorce was filed you went out, got a loan, and purchased the car, than it is not marital. However, if you traded in a car that you had during marriage, then some amount (the value you received for the trade-in car) of the car you just purchased will be marital. The operative date is the date of filing for the divorce, the "separation" date does not play a part in the demarcation of marital vs. non-marital assets/debts, unless the parties agree to this date.
