Do I have to pay alimony if my spouse has been committing adultery?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey Allen Conner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Jeffrey A. Conner
Although section 61.08 states that the Court may consider adultery in awarding or denying alimony, the appellate courts have held that alimony is considered only to the extent of any economic impact of the adultery. Otherwise the Court will consider the factors listed in Section 61.08 and depending upon how the Court applies the facts of your case to these factors, it is possible that you would have to pay alimony even if your spouse committed adultery.

What steps can I take to finalize our divorce?

If this was filed as a Contested case you should contact the Judges Office and request a final hearing date, your spouse would sign nothing. If this was filed as an uncontested matter you would need to file an Amended Petition to convert this to a contested matter.

How can i defend myself in a hearing?

Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
   Mandatory disclosure is, in fact, mandatory.  You mentioned a few items that you provided that must be produced but the list is much more comprehensive.  See Florida Family Rule 12.285.  If there are items on the list that do not apply to you ( for example, corporate tax returns if you don't have a corporation) then amend your answer to reflect that and send it to the attorney and file it with the Court.    If your wife had not produced all of her documents, follow the form of the Motion to Compel that was served on you and serve it on her lawyer.  You will have to set that for a hearing as well. You should call the judge's assistant to see how to do that if you cannot find it on line for your county. Good luck, Cindy Vova
