In Florida, divorce proceedings frequently entail the discussion of alimony between spouses who have significantly different financial earnings.
This requirement can be modified when a spouse receiving alimony gets remarried or otherwise improves their financial situation. An alimony award serves a number of purposes including bridging gaps until a spouse is self-supporting, provide financial support for a specified amount of time, which can be permanent, or pay a spouse back for what they contributed during the period of the marriage.
