Skilled Florida Alimony & Spousal Support Lawyers

Protecting Your Stability After Divorce

Spousal support — often called alimony — is one of the most contested issues in a divorce. Florida law does not guarantee alimony; instead, courts weigh a long list of factors to determine if support is necessary, how much should be paid, and for how long.

At ADL Law, we represent clients across Stuart, Martin County, and surrounding areas in all alimony matters — from negotiating initial support to modifying or enforcing an existing order. We know what judges consider, how recent reforms have changed spousal support, and how to build a strategy that protects your financial future.

Why You Need an Alimony Lawyer in Florida

Alimony isn’t automatic. Courts first decide if one spouse has a genuine need and if the other has the ability to pay.
Types of support differ. Temporary, bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational alimony each serve different purposes and have unique rules.
The law is changing. Florida recently reformed its alimony statutes, phasing out permanent alimony and limiting duration in many cases.
High stakes. An unfair order can damage your financial health for years — whether you’re paying too much or receiving too little.

Key Factors Courts Consider in Alimony Cases

Florida judges review multiple elements before awarding support, including:

The length of the marriage (short-, moderate-, or long-term).
Standard of living during the marriage.
Each spouse’s income, earning capacity, and employability.
Contributions to the marriage, including homemaking and childcare.
Age, health, and special needs of either spouse.
Whether one spouse helped advance the other’s career or education.

How ADL Law Handles Alimony Cases

Case Evaluation: We review financial disclosures and lifestyle records to measure need and ability to pay.
Support Type & Amount Strategy: We argue for the most appropriate form of support — or against an unnecessary request — based on your facts.
Negotiation & Settlement: Whenever possible, we push for agreements that balance fairness with financial reality, avoiding drawn-out litigation.
Court Representation: If trial is unavoidable, we present strong evidence on income, expenses, and contributions to secure a fair ruling.
Modification & Enforcement: Circumstances change. We help you reduce, increase, or enforce alimony when life shifts — job loss, retirement, or cohabitation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Alimony in Florida

Is alimony always awarded in Florida?

No. The court must first find a legitimate need for support and an ability to pay.

What types of alimony are available?

Florida allows temporary, bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational alimony. Each serves a different purpose and has limits on duration or modification.

How long will I have to pay alimony?

That depends on the type awarded and the length of the marriage. For example, bridge-the-gap alimony cannot exceed 2 years, while durational alimony is capped by the length of the marriage.

Can alimony be changed later?

Yes. If there’s a substantial change in circumstances — such as job loss, retirement, or the recipient entering a supportive relationship — you can request modification.

What if my ex doesn’t pay?

We can file enforcement actions, including contempt motions, wage garnishment, or other remedies to collect unpaid support.
