Helping You Pursue Fair & Equitable Alimony
Divorce often brings significant financial changes, and determining whether alimony should be awarded is one of the most important aspects of the process.

Whether you are seeking spousal support or may be required to pay it, we understand both sides of the process and will guide you through every step with confidence and compassion.
Understanding the Alimony Process
Every divorce is unique, which means there is no one-size-fits-all approach to alimony. As your trusted family divorce attorney, we carefully evaluate every aspect of your financial situation to determine what is fair under Florida law.
The purpose of alimony is to help a spouse maintain a lifestyle that is reasonably similar to the one established during the marriage when appropriate. Depending on your circumstances, alimony may take several forms, including:
- Temporary alimony
- Bridge-the-gap alimony
- Rehabilitative alimony
- Durational alimony
- Lump-sum alimony
When determining whether alimony should be awarded, Florida courts consider several factors, including:
- The financial need of the spouse requesting support
- The other spouse’s ability to pay
- The length of the marriage
- The standard of living established during the marriage
- Each spouse’s education, earning capacity, and vocational skills
- The age and physical or emotional health of both spouses
- Any other relevant factors permitted under Florida law
An experienced family divorce attorney can help present the evidence necessary to support your position and advocate for a fair outcome.
Can Alimony Be Modified?
Life circumstances often change after a divorce is finalized. In some situations, alimony may be modified if there has been a substantial change in circumstances. Examples may include:
- Retirement of the paying spouse
- Significant changes in income
- The receiving spouse entering a supportive relationship
- Other qualifying changes recognized under Florida law
Our attorneys can evaluate your situation and determine whether seeking a modification is appropriate.
