Well, I did find this out:
Property Division
Florida is an "equitable distribution" state. Each spouse can retain their non-marital property. Non-marital property is all property acquired prior to the marriage, or acquired by gift or inheritance, or any property that the spouses agree is non-marital property in a written agreement.
Well, her half the house was acquired before they even met, much less married, AND the other half was acquired by inheritance...so I don't think he can take the house, which is a huge relief....even if she has to go through an eviction to get him out (and according to the sheriff's department, unless there is physical abuse, that is the case) I think she could stand it if she knew her home was safe.
On another note..maybe this is all for the best. I just got off the phone with her and she's pretty calm under the circumstances. I told her it'll be a tough road, but when she gets to the other ends, she'll be free. More free than if he had just agreed to the divorce as it stood.
