Tampa Permanent Alimony Attorney

Permanent Alimony Attorney Also Serving St. Petersburg

Permanent alimony, or permanent periodic alimony, is generally defined as that financial support given from one spouse to another to maintain the standard of living set forth when the marriage was intact.  When you are going through a divorce, financial concerns can be at the forefront of your mind.  Florida divorce law can be very confusing, and it is important to know what to expect from your divorce proceedings.  Either the ex-husband or the ex-wife can be eligible to receive alimony, and there are several different types of alimony that a spouse can expect to receive or be required to pay.

For a spouse to be eligible for permanent alimony, usually the marriage has to have been long-term.  Some time ago in Florida, a marriage had to have lasted for 20 years or more to be eligible for permanent alimony.  These days, there are cases where you can see permanent alimony awarded to the dependent spouse in marriages lasting 14 years and sometimes even less time.
