Common Questions About Alimony

What factors influence alimony decisions in Florida?

Courts consider the length of the marriage, each spouse's financial resources, the standard of living during the marriage, and the contributions of each spouse to the marriage, including child care and education.

Can alimony be modified or terminated in Florida?

Yes, alimony can be modified or terminated based on a substantial change in circumstances or if the receiving spouse enters into a supportive relationship with another person.

How is temporary alimony determined during the divorce process?

Temporary alimony is based on the needs of the requesting spouse and the other spouse's ability to pay, intended to maintain the status quo during the divorce.

What is bridge-the-gap alimony, and who qualifies for it?

Bridge-the-gap alimony is designed to assist the receiving spouse with legitimate identifiable short-term needs in transitioning from married to single life. It's typically awarded for up to 2 years.

How does the court decide on rehabilitative alimony?

Rehabilitative alimony supports a spouse in gaining the skills or education needed for self-sufficiency. The recipient must present a plan detailing the education or training required, its duration, and costs. The court assesses the feasibility of this plan, considering the paying spouse's ability to fund it and the recipient's potential for employment. This alimony is temporary, adjustable based on the recipient's adherence to the plan or changing circumstances.

Under what conditions is durational alimony awarded?

Awarded when permanent alimony isn't suitable, durational alimony provides temporary financial support post-divorce, not exceeding the marriage's length. It's aimed at maintaining the recipient's standard of living and is set based on the marriage's duration and the economic disparity between spouses. While the duration is fixed, the amount may be adjusted if significant changes in circumstances occur.

When is permanent alimony considered appropriate?

Permanent alimony may be awarded to provide for the needs and necessities of life for a spouse who lacks the financial ability to meet their needs following a long-term marriage.

Does adultery impact alimony decisions in Florida?

While Florida is a no-fault divorce state, the court may consider adultery and its financial impact on the family finances when determining alimony.

How are alimony payments made?

Payments can be made directly between the spouses or through the Florida State Disbursement Unit. The method of payment, including direct deposit or check, is determined in the final order.

What happens to alimony if the payer spouse dies or the recipient remarries?

Alimony typically terminates upon the death of either spouse or if the recipient remarries, though the terms can vary based on the agreement or court order.
