Florida lawmakers announced last week they will not be continuing their efforts to overhaul alimony in 2014. Rep. Ritch Workman and Sen. Kelli Stargel passed an alimony bill last year only to see it vetoed by Gov. Rick Scott. Last year’s bill sought to end permanent alimony and would have reduced long-term alimony payments. The bill would have made seeking alimony in marriages of less than 11 years difficult. The bill also called for a standard of equal timeshare for divorcing couples with children. Many believed that while the bill did not pass last year, some sort of alimony reform would occur in 2014. Now it appears legislatures primary will be focusing on tax cuts during the 60 day session that begin last week. For more information, visit the following link:
