Winter Park Alimony Attorney 

Winter Park Alimony Lawyer Assisting Clients in Florida

Alimony, also known as spousal support or spousal maintenance, can be awarded to one spouse in a Winter Park divorce when the court considers it to be appropriate. Florida law recognizes multiple different types of alimony, and courts look at a wide variety of factors in determining whether an alimony award is appropriate. Once the court decides that one of the parties in a divorce should receive alimony, it then considers what type of alimony is appropriate and whether the alimony award should be limited in duration.

If you have questions about seeking alimony in your divorce, or if you have concerns about your obligations to provide alimony, an experienced Winter Park alimony attorney can answer your questions and address your concerns.

Factors for Granting Alimony in a Winter Park Divorce

The first step in awarding alimony is determining whether it is appropriate at all in the case. Only when a court has determined that alimony is appropriate will it decide the type, amount, and duration of alimony. When a Florida court decides whether alimony or maintenance is appropriate, it looks at a wide variety of statutory factors. Some of those factors include:

  • Standard of living established during the marriage;
  • Duration of the marriage;
  • Age of the parties;
  • Financial resources of the parties;
  • Earning capacities of the parties;
  • Contribution of each of the parties to the marriage;
  • Responsibilities of each of the parties for minor children from the marriage;
  • Tax consequences of alimony to both of the parties; and
  • Other sources of income available to the parties.

Different Types of Alimony in Winter Park

Florida law allows for several different types of alimony, including but not limited to the following:

  • Temporary alimony: This type of alimony is exactly what it sounds like—it is temporary, and it is usually awarded to one of the spouses before a final divorce judgment is entered that may or may not award another type of alimony for a lengthier period of time.
  • Bridge-the-gap alimony: When one of the parties has legitimate and identifiable short-term needs for transitioning from married life to single life, bridge-the-gap alimony may be awarded. It cannot exceed a duration of two years.
  • Rehabilitative alimony: Many marriages involve one of the parties foregoing education or training for the other spouse’s professional development or for the sake of performing domestic duties in the marriage. Rehabilitative alimony can be awarded to a party who needs to redevelop older skills in order to reenter the workforce or to acquire new skills, training, or work experience in order to be employable.
  • Durational alimony: This type of alimony is limited in its duration, and it is awarded when permanent periodic alimony is not appropriate.
  • Permanent periodic alimony: Permanent alimony is typically awarded in situations where the marriage had a particularly long duration and where the party seeking alimony does not have the financial ability to provide for his or her needs and necessities of life that were established during the marriage.
