Types of Spousal Support
Our St. Augustine spousal support attorney is knowledgeable about the types of support and the factors involved in determining support. Types of support include:
- Temporary
- Bridge-the-Gap
- Permanent
- Durational
- Lump sum
- Rehabilitative
Durational alimony became effective July 1, 2010. It is designated to provide financial assistance for a certain amount of time for short-term and moderate-term marriages. The length the dependent spouse receives of durational alimony cannot exceed the length of the marriage.
Florida courts determine alimony based on factors that include:
- Financial need
- Ability to pay
- Length of marriage
- Standard of living during marriage
- Age
- Health
Alimony Modification
Our Jacksonville alimony attorney also handles alimony modification. Court-ordered alimony may be modified, terminated or reduced after a final order based on a change of circumstances, including retirement of the paying spouse or cohabitation of the receiving spouse with another person, and/or being in a supportive relationship with another person.
