In Florida, the court may grant alimony to the husband or the wife temporarily or permanently. Rehabilitative alimony is granted for a specific period of time to enable a spouse to develop skills needed to achieve financial independence. Permanent alimony continues until the receiving spouse’s remarriage or the death of either party. The court may also grant a lump-sum payment of money or property and bridge-the-gap alimony for a limited period of time.

Although adultery does not bar an award of alimony, the court may consider the adultery of either spouse, and the circumstances of that adultery in determining the amount of alimony to be awarded.

In awarding alimony, the court considers all relevant economic factors for each party, such as: prior standard of living, length of the marriage, age, physical and emotional condition, financial resources, the income-producing capacity of the assets they receive, the time necessary to acquire education or training in order to find employment, the services rendered in homemaking, child rearing, and education and career building of the other spouse.

You have the right to find out about all your spouse’s income and assets through the use of discovery procedures.
