Family Law

Alimony

In Florida, various types of alimony can be awarded to either a husband or a wife when there is a need and an ability to pay or as otherwise required to do "equity and justice" between the parties, including:

• Permanent Alimony
• Rehabilitative Alimony
• Bridge-the Gap Alimony
• Lump Sum Alimony
• Temporary Alimony

Identifying Factors to Determine Alimony

The court has fairly broad discretion to award alimony and to craft orders for spousal support tailored to the specific needs of the parties. Working with a family law attorney at Trivedi & Associates can help you to ensure that you are aware of your options and that the court is made aware of all factors relevant to an award of alimony. Factors relevant to an alimony award may include:

• The length of your marriage
• Your standard of living during the marriage
• Your age and physical or mental health
• Your spouse's age and physical or mental health
• Financial resources available to you and your spouse
• Whether a party's career or education was disrupted because of the marriage

Trivedi & Associates will work with you and the courts to obtain the alimony that you deserve in your time of need and disarray.
