I answered this before. There is no law because it is not recognized in Florida. The purpose of this site is to help people with legal issues and not to do homework for students who are too lazy to do their own. If you are doing research, you may wish to verify this in a library or online reference source.

Had you bothered, you might have found this (2nd hit on Google for me):

FLORIDA

Current law: DOMA adopted as state law

Legislation: None

Court action: Miami lawyer Ellis Rubin has filed 8 lawsuits 3 federal cases and 5 state cases in 2004 on behalf of about 40 same-sex couples. Two of the federal cases seek recognition of marriages performed in Canada and Florida and challenge the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The other cases were filed on behalf of unwed same-sex couples seeking the right to marry. None have gone to trial yet. The National Center for Lesbian Rights has filed a lawsuit on behalf of six same-sex couples challenging Florida's same-sex marriage ban.
