Reliable Alimony and Spousal Support Lawyers
Alimony is not mandatory in Florida and the court has broad discretion in making a determination on whether to award it in a given case. There are many issues that the court considers in the process of making a determination about alimony and these cases can become extremely complex.
Be sure that you have an attorney on your side who can make the most compelling possible argument on your behalf. At The Amlong Firm in Fort Lauderdale, we have represented both husbands and wives in alimony cases. We have represented the spouse seeking alimony as well as the spouse being asked to pay it. No matter which side of the argument you are on, we have the experience to help you successfully resolve the matter.
Seeking a Positive Outcome in Your Case
There are many different types of alimony that can be awarded and either spouse is able to request it. Alimony can be permanent, rehabilitative, bridge-the-gap or lump-sum. Alimony awards are dependent upon several factors including the standard of living established during the marriage and the earning capacity of the spouse seeking alimony. A large consideration in Florida alimony cases is the length of the marriage.
For the purposes of awarding alimony, Florida marriages are considered short-term, gray area or long-term. Permanent alimony is not awarded in short-term marriages and is almost always awarded in long-term ones. Permanent alimony has been awarded in gray area marriages but with much less frequency than in long-term marriages. We have a solid track record of success representing clients in these cases from both sides.
