Florida Alimony Law Overview

Florida has five types of alimony: bridge-the-gap (max 2 years), rehabilitative, durational (max length of marriage), permanent, and nominal. The court first determines need and ability to pay, then selects the appropriate type and amount. Florida is a no-fault state.

Formula & Calculation Approach

No statutory formula for amount. Courts consider the standard of living, the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity and financial resources, contributions, and the time needed for self-support.

Duration Rules in Florida

Bridge-the-gap: max 2 years. Durational: up to the length of the marriage. Permanent: available for long marriages (17+ years) where recipient cannot be self-supporting.
