You have rights. Would you like to file for divorce? Please contact me if that is the case.
Re: abandonment by spouse
Unfortunately, the question, "What are my rights?" is just too big a question to be answered in this forum. You may have many rights. If you file for divorce and keep majority time share ("custody"), which sounds likely, you'll be entitled to child support. In some parts of Florida, you've been married long enough to be a good candidate for permanent alimony. You're probably also entitled to half the "marital property," which may include retirements and pensions.
