Is Alimony Automatic?

In Florida, alimony is not automatically awarded when spouses divorce. Rather, the court considers a number of factors to determine if alimony should be awarded, and if so, how much. These include:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The standard of living during the marriage
  • The financial circumstances of each spouse
  • The earning capacity of each spouse
  • Age and health of each spouse
  • Other factors
