What are the circumstances that would make a judge make you pay a spouse permanent alimony?

Answered by attorney Joanna Marie Mitchell (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Joanna Mitchell & Associates, P.A.
Typically, in Florida, permanent alimony is only awarded in long term, greater than 17 year, marriages, and then only if there is a need for same (big difference in incomes between the two parties). You should consult with an attorney who practices in your area if you are potentially looking at a divorce with alimony as an issue.

How long do I have to pay spousal support for?

Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
There is no simple rule. The duration of spousal support following dissolution of the marriage is a matter for the judge's discretion if you and your wife cannot agree on a reasonable period of time needed for her to become self-sufficient. There are many different factors that must be considered in making that decision, so you should consult an attorney who can assist you in identifying the most significant facts that would probably influence what a judge would do.
