Description
Appellant is the former wife of appellee Robert Law and has a judgment against him for support payments. The issue presented by this case is whether, when Robert inherited his mother's home, it became his homestead and therefore exempt from execution. Robert and his present wife Barbara own another home as tenants by entirety, but they had become separated and Robert was living in his mother's home at the time of her death. We affirm the trial court's finding that the inherited home was Robert's homestead. In May, 1995, Robert and his present wife, Barbara, became separated. Robert moved out of the Hollywood home, which he and Barbara owned as tenants by entirety, and moved into the home owned by his mother in Davie. He took with him his minor great-grandson, for whom he is the legal guardian. Robert received his and his ward's mail at the Davie property from the time they moved in. In February, 1997, Robert's mother became very ill. Robert then asked his wife, Barbara, to help him take care of his mother, and Barbara moved into the Davie home. She continued to live there with Robert until the Davie home was sold.
