Lifetime Alimony May be Eliminated in Florida

Paying alimony for life soon could be dead in Florida, if the state Legislature approves radical reforms this year.

This would be the second such attempt to do away with an alimony system that some call outdated. The Legislature tried to eliminate lifelong alimony two years ago, but Gov.

The latest effort doesn’t include that provision, and proponents are optimistic that the bill will pass now.  To read more of the article from the Orlando Sentinel, click HERE.
