Florida spousal support representation grounded in real numbers and clear strategy — negotiations, litigation, and modifications, guided by the attorney you actually hired.
Alimony begins with a clear picture of income, expenses, assets, and need. We help you organize financial affidavits, lifestyle analyses, and supporting documentation so the conversation is grounded in facts — not assumptions. Florida law lays out specific factors, and we make sure each one is honestly addressed.
Most alimony outcomes are negotiated, not litigated. We pursue settlements that reflect the length of the marriage, each spouse’s earning capacity, and the standard of living established — bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, or durational support, structured to actually work in real life. When a trial is necessary, we’re ready.
Whether you’re paying or receiving support, the goal is the same: an arrangement you can build a future on. We also handle modifications and enforcement when life changes — retirement, remarriage, job loss, or a substantial change in circumstances — so your order keeps pace with reality.
A few of the things clients ask before reaching out.
Florida currently recognizes bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational alimony, plus temporary support during the case. Permanent alimony was eliminated for new awards in 2023. The right type — and amount — depends on the length of the marriage and each spouse’s circumstances.
Florida courts weigh statutory factors including the standard of living during the marriage, length of the marriage, age and health of both spouses, financial resources, earning capacities, contributions to the marriage, and responsibilities for any children. There is no rigid formula — it’s a fact-driven analysis.
Durational alimony cannot exceed the length of the marriage and is capped by statute (50% of a short-term, 60% of a moderate-term, and 75% of a long-term marriage). Bridge-the-gap is limited to two years. Rehabilitative alimony lasts as long as the rehabilitative plan requires.
Yes — most alimony awards can be modified if there’s a substantial, material, involuntary, and permanent change in circumstances. Common examples include retirement, job loss, a significant raise, or the receiving spouse entering a supportive relationship. Bridge-the-gap, however, is generally non-modifiable.
It can. Florida courts may consider adultery and the circumstances surrounding it when determining whether to award alimony and in what amount — particularly if marital funds were spent on the affair. It is one factor among many, not an automatic trigger.
Always. Your matter will not be handed off to a junior associate or paralegal. You hired the attorney, so you get the attorney — every call, every signature, every step.
