Orlando Spousal Support Attorney

Alimony/Spousal Support and Divorce in Orlando, Florida

Spousal support, most commonly referred to as alimony, may or may not be awarded in the event of a divorce in Florida. Alimony is a monthly payment that one spouse pays to another after the dissolution of a marriage. Spouses may agree upon this together in the event of an uncontested divorce , or the court may make a ruling regarding what amount of spousal support will be paid, and for how long. The latter would apply in contested divorces – those which cannot be resolved outside of the courtroom.
