What is Alimony?

Alimony, or spousal support, isn’t automatic in Florida. It’s decided on a case-by-case basis and is designed to help the lower-earning spouse transition after divorce. Key factors judges consider include:

• Length of the marriage

• Standard of living during the marriage

• Employment history and earning potential

• Health and specific needs of each spouse

We’ll help you understand how these factors affect your case and work with you to create the right strategy.

Types of Alimony in Florida

Florida law offers several types of alimony, depending on your circumstances. These include:

• Temporary Alimony: Support during the divorce process.

• Bridge-the-Gap Alimony: Short-term support for transitioning to single life.

• Rehabilitative Alimony: Help for education or training to re-enter the workforce.

• Durational Alimony: Ongoing support for a set period.

• Lump Sum Alimony: A one-time payment instead of ongoing support.

Our team will guide you through these options to find the best fit for your situation.
