Comprehensive Guide to Alimony in Florida

Alimony is determined by the length of the marriage and the financial situation of both spouses. Florida law allows alimony to be permanent, rehabilitative, or durative (temporary).

Types of Alimony Explained

  • Rehabilitative alimony – This form of alimony is used to help the supported spouse become self-supporting. In order to receive this form of alimony, the supported spouse must prove that they are capable of becoming self-supporting and that it will take them a certain period of time to do so. This form of alimony is temporary and ends when the supported spouse becomes self-supporting.
  • Durative alimony – This form of alimony is used to provide the supported spouse with financial assistance for a set period of time. This form of alimony can be temporary (ending when the set period ends) or permanent (lasting until the supported spouse's death).
  • Permanent alimony – This is the most common form of alimony. This form of alimony is used to provide the supported spouse with financial assistance for the remainder of their life. Permanent alimony is only awarded in cases where it is necessary for the supported spouse to maintain the marital standard of living.

An experienced alimony attorney can help you understand these types of alimony and help you determine which type you may be eligible for.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

"Genius divorce lawyer"

John Schutz is a brilliant lawyer. Not only did Mr. Schutz do an excellent job cleaning up the mess from the previous lawyer, he in my estimation was key in me ultimately obtaining a very good outcome. I had a very contentious divorce and the opposing lawyer was very unprofessional and somewhat abusive. Mr. Schutz through his professionalism and excellent people skills was able to reign in the opposing attorney's unprofessional conduct. Mr. Schutz ran circles around the opposing attorney as he was always prepared and was quick on his feet. He is well worth the money in my opinion. Due to his skill and the ability to outclass the opposing attorney, a trial was avoided which ultimately would have been far more costly. Highly recommend.
