I've heard that if you buy property, (one owner), in Florida as an out of state resident, then get divorced, the property isn't considered mutual property... the divorcee can't touch it. Is that true? My father is getting divorced in MD and is wanting to know if the Florida house can be taken by the court for his soon to be ex-wife.

Any property purchased while married is considered marital property and has to be equally divided pursuant to a Marital Settlement Agreement, whether one party resides in FL or not. The point is moot and irrelevant.

It really depends on the laws in Maryland. Since that is where the divorce is taking place. It also depends on what agreements the lawyers can make for their clients
