- Q. What form is needed to revisit child support contempt order due to new medical evidence of inability to work?
- A: Motion to Vacate Contempt Order.
Base it on newly discovered evidence. However, your best bet is to apply for and receive Social Security disability benefits. If the government grants your SSDI application, they will provide half of your benefits to your children, which is likely more than the child support.. This is very strong evidence that you have a real inability to work. You should consult with a Family Lawyer to map about your case appropriately.
- Q. Will I receive anything from my spouse's property after divorce in Florida?
- A: If, during the marriage, you helped pay for the mortgage, property taxes, repairs, renovations, or general upkeep—whether through direct payments or contributions of marital income—then the increase in the home’s value caused by those efforts may be considered marital. That portion is known as active appreciation, and under Florida’s equitable distribution rules, you may be entitled to a share of that increased value, even though your name isn’t on the deed.
In short, while the house itself stays with your spouse, any marital investment that enhanced its value—financial or labor—can create a right to compensation during the divorce

- Q. Can my husband take back my car during separation in Florida?
- A: As the vehicle was purchased during the marriage, it may be considered a marital asset subject to equitable distribution in the event of a divorce. That said, your husband does not have the legal right to unilaterally take or repossess the car, especially since there are no court orders or pending legal proceedings. Until a court rules otherwise, you retain full legal possession of the vehicle.
You should reach out to a local family law attorney to assist you with this issue as it sounds like there will be others.
