The landscape of alimony, a critical aspect of many divorce cases, is undergoing significant change in Florida. This transformation is due to the Florida Alimony Reform 2023. What has prompted this shift? And more importantly, how will it affect those involved?
The video discusses the new alimony reform that took effect in Florida on July 1, 2023. The major change is the elimination of permanent alimony.
In this video, we discuss the concept of alimony and the criteria for its award.
Previously, permanent alimony could be granted for long-term marriages. This type of alimony awarded the receiving spouse alimony for the rest of his/her life. But now the maximum duration is 75% of the marriage's length--and it only applies to marriages of 20 years or longer.

I'm so glad that Florida passed alimony reform. It was long overdue!!!
If the military would only change their laws. I’ve seen buddies wives get knock up by other dudes and she will get half of their retirement because they were married longer than 10years while in the military. Military UCMJ system is the most unjust and outdated system around. And it will apply it to who they want depending on Rank.
Hi! Thank you for your feedback!
That sounds similar to Florida Statutes, pensions/retirement accounts are typically considered a marital asset if there's no prenup. Of course, the entire amount is not what's at issue..it would be the amount acquired during the duration of the marriage. This law has not changed
Retirement is a civilain thing not a UCMJ thing.
Talk about having to dodge bullets!!
This needs to be put into place in the Military as well. Too many dumb service members getting with Women if the streets and the women get Prego or just divorce the Service member for money.
I agree most of the fault is at the service member for choosing a bad partner, but it’s not fair to them to work so hard and get so screwed over
We need this in Canada . How do we get it ? Should only be 5 years
if you in Canada run away. they could marry you to your GF without you consent neither knowledge (check marriage in law)
There needs to be a push in the legislation. I am not sure how it works in Canada :/
This bill was rejected last year--main reason was that the proposed bill would apply retroactively. Finalized approved, and came in effect July 2023
alimony should be eliminated, other than rehab alimony and only after a certain number of years, and must have children together.
example, woman has 2 kids with man, 7 years later divorce. she was not working at all and needs education work experience etc. 2 years max, 3-5 if shes getting education and only education expenses are considered after 2 years if she was using the first 2 years go get 2 year degree and she is continuing, she gets partial payments towards higher education, and anything over 2 years is also income depenedent on her end as well.
a woman that was just a wifey, nothing. get a job. she doesnt have kids to deal with, juggle around, was forced to stay home to raise them etc etc.
but this would put a lot of lawyers out of work, and god forbid we have less lawyers in this world.
If the individual paying alimony is no longer able to work an additional job (because he is forced to because his ex-wife was granted permanent alimony of $2500 per month) can he take her back to court and ask for modification? Also this person is retiring in 4.5 years can he take her to court then and ask for removal of permanent alimony or stop it completely if she is making more money than him?
Hi Anna Regan! Thank you for your question on the topic of alimony modification in Florida.
While I cannot provide specific legal advice on this platform and please understand that I do not represent you, I can offer some general insights. In Florida, alimony can be subject to modification when there is a substantial change in circumstances. If the individual paying alimony undergoes significant financial changes, such as no longer being able to work an additional job or facing retirement, these could be considered substantial changes that might warrant a court's reconsideration of alimony obligations. Additionally, if the recipient of the alimony undergoes a significant increase in their financial situation, that too might be a relevant consideration for modification.
For the precise wording and conditions, you may refer to the Florida Statutes 61.18 regarding alimony. Hope this helps!
Hi if the case has been filed before July 1 as for example May 29 this new law will apply to the case or the new law ?
Hi! Thank you for visiting my channel and reaching out! While I can't give you legal advice, as I am not your attorney, I can tell you that the new law applies for all cases that have not been completed or settled before July 1, 2023. For example, if your case was started over a year ago but was not concluded or settled before July 1st, then the new law applies. Hope this helps! Have a great weekend!
My ex husband is 6 alimony payments behind. We were divorced in 2005 and I was awarded permanent alimony. He has threatened to stop paying because of the new law. I a,m disabled and don’t have $ to get a lawyer. He makes 6figures and my alimony is only $100 per month. Does this new law apply. We divorced 2006 and we were married 20years.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They get divorced and she never worked ? I guess she better get a job and get accustomed to it.
