Alimony &Spousal Support Attorney
Alimony can shape your financial life for years after a divorce. Whether you’re seeking support you’re owed or protecting yourself from an unfair demand, we help you understand the law, know your options, and stand firm when it counts.
How Alimony Works in Florida
Florida overhauled its alimony laws in 2023 — permanent alimony is gone, and the types and durations that remain follow specific rules tied to the length of your marriage. Understanding which type applies to your situation is the first real step.
Need & Ability to Pay
No award happens without two findings: that one spouse has a genuine need, and the other has the actual ability to pay. Both must be proven.
Length of the Marriage
Marriage length drives what’s available. Florida groups marriages as short-term, moderate-term, and long-term, and each opens different alimony options.
Types of Alimony
Florida recognizes temporary, bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational alimony — each serving a different purpose and lasting a different length of time.
Modification & Termination
Support can often be changed or ended when circumstances shift substantially — a job loss, a significant raise, retirement, or a supportive relationship or remarriage.
