I've been in Florida over 6 years now Jacque, and it's ok for the most part. Is it better than living in the UK? IMHO, no, it's not. I'd prefer somewhere with 4 seasons for a start.
If your partner has an American Mother, then it's possible it MAY help, but that's certainly not definate though. Too many variables in this one.
TBH, you'd almost be better off asking an immigration lawyer over here in the US for some advice, and see what they come up with as an opinion of your chances. Bouncing it around in an online forum without anyone actually knowing all the details makes it kind of unlikely that any of us will give the best advice or really know the answer.
A lawyers opinion would be a better way to go for you I'd say.
