Understanding Alimony in Florida

Alimony, or spousal support, is designed to provide financial assistance to a spouse who earns less income or who may need time to become self-sufficient following a divorce. The laws governing alimony in Florida are complex, and the outcome of these cases can significantly impact both parties' financial futures. Hamil Scott Law Firm specializes in navigating these complexities to secure fair and equitable alimony arrangements for our clients.


Types of Alimony in Florida


  • Temporary Alimony: Provided during the divorce proceedings.
  • Bridge-the-Gap Alimony: Assists with the transition from being married to single.
  • Rehabilitative Alimony: Supports a spouse in obtaining training or education necessary for employment.
  • Durational Alimony: Provided for a set period post-divorce, especially when no other alimony fits the situation.
  • Permanent Alimony: Offered following long marriages if the recipient spouse lacks the ability to meet their needs independently.
