_________________________
No Reform for 2013-2014
Although it had looked like alimony reform was possible,
in fact it never
made it and Governor Rick Scott vetoed the bill in 2013.
Many reformers
believed it would be revisited in 2014, but now it looks
like that
alimony reform activists are pushing for 2015.
Some of the proposals for reform are based on the
following:
• Support self-sufficiency and independence for the
lower-earning spouse
through alimony payments that continue during a
transition period, which
lasts more than a decade in long-term marriages.
• Maintain appropriate judicial discretion to fairly
judge unique
circumstances where the lower-earning spouse is
physically or mentally
unable to work to gain self-sufficiency, continuing
alimony payments in
special cases, and only until no longer needed.
• End lifelong alimony dependency, allowing each party
of the divorce to
move-on with independent lives;
• Obtain retirement rights for alimony payers, the same
rights enjoyed by
all other citizens.
• Protect second spouses from current case law, which
may allow judges to
use second spouses income and assets and then force the
alimony payer to pay
an increased amount of alimony to a first spouse based
now on a new “family
income,” or face jail.
• End expensive legal battles over vague alimony laws
and interpretations;
and
• Provide equal and consistent treatment, where the
outcome of a alimony
case is not decided by the Russian Roulette selection of
the family court
judge.

Alimony
Quick Facts
In a divorce case, a party may claim alimony from the
other party. Alimony is a form of financial support
that one party seeks from the other. In general,
alimony is dependent upon the length of marriage, the
financial need of the parties and the financial
abilities of the parties. Contact
Nilo Sanchez & Associates, divorce lawyer in Tampa
to schedule a consultation to determine if you may be
entitled to alimony in your divorce case.
Child Support and/or Alimony?
The income used to calculate payment of
child support is the level of income remaining after
alimony is taken out. So alimony payments do reduce
child support. There is an interaction between alimony
and child support that sometimes can work toward the
advantage of the person paying support and alimony.
