Who Gets Alimony in a Florida Divorce?

It’s perceived that men are always the ones paying alimony, but along with everything else that changes when divorce takes place, more women are paying alimony to their ex spouses than ever before.

In Florida, alimony is governed by Florida Statutes 61.08 and those Statutes don’t define alimony as something that is awarded only to the ex-wife or only to the ex-husband. Alimony is a tough subject matter to swallow for many couples in Florida who are seeking or have already been divorced.

Men and women both can be ordered to pay alimony to their ex-spouses and many factors are considered prior to awarding a former spouse alimony in Florida. But is it right or fair? The paying party generally thinks not, and the receiving party thinks so. The important thing is to work with a Tampa Florida divorce attorney who will work towards results and obtaining the very best resolution for your particular divorce case.
