My Dad and his wife have been estranged for just about 16 years, and I’m trying to find out for him, if in the eyes of the law they would automatically be considered divorced? If not, what is the timeframe? Thank you!

Two people who are married, remain married until a Judge signs a Final Judgment of Dissolution or one othe spouses die. There is no time frame where it automatically happens. The Constitution of Florida recognizes that a marriage is one that the State should not interfere unless and until a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed.
