Once again, new proposals would change Florida’s alimony and timesharing laws. Several bills have been filed in the state House and Senate to address these issues.
Currently, alimony is awarded to a lesser or non-earning spouse for either a specific or indefinite length of time, known as permanent alimony. The amount of alimony depends on a list of factors but is mostly set at the judge’s discretion based on how he/she views the need of the party requesting alimony and the other party’s ability to pay.
