Is cohabitation legal in Florida?
is cohabitaion against the law in florida? And what is the
punishment?
The cohabitation law is called Florida Statute 798.02 and says,
"If any man and woman, not being married to each other, lewdly and
lasciviously associate or cohabit together,…they shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor of the second degree."
The punishment for a misdemeanor of the second degree is a
prison term of not more than 60 days or a fine not to exceed
$500.00 (in most states, the legislation then reads "or both", and
it's a pretty good bet they'd stick you with both if they were to
actually charge you)
