Orlando Area Alimony Attorneys at Law

Alimony is support paid from one spouse to the other. The purpose of alimony is to provide the lower-income spouse with money to pay the living expenses they were accustomed to during the marriage.

The first step in any alimony case is determining if one spouse needs support and if the other spouse is able to pay said support.

Then, the next step is to determine which type of alimony is appropriate. There are several types of alimony under Florida law, including bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, periodic, and permanent alimony. Any of those types of alimony can be paid in a lump sum or periodic payments. The court can use various combinations of alimony awards to provide for a lower-income spouse after divorce. There are many statutory factors to consider. One should consult with a lawyer to fully understand the different types of alimony and whether they are applicable to your situation.

Questions about alimony or potential alimony awards are very fact-specific.
