In 2011, Florida Divorce law changed in regards to alimony. My last post discussed the changes that you divorce lawyer should inform you of prior to representation. Just this past week, a bill has been forwarded by Florida State Senator Diaz de la Portilla of Miami to again amend the alimony statute. This proposed legislation could be detrimental to divorcing spouses with no education or future employability. The proposed legislation requires that alimony terminates upon the payor (usually the husband) reaching age of retirement, whether he retires or not. The most detrimental aspect of the proposed bill is to limit alimony to no more than 20% of the payor's net income. What this law means to florida divorce law and the attorneys is that alimony laws will be tougher on the recipient. Which is in direct conflict with the purpose of alimony, protecting the spouse who supported the Husband through the marriage, watching and supoprting his career advancement, will now be penalized if she is divorced.
This bill needs to be followed by all Jacksonville divorce lawyers and potential clients.
