The 4 Different Kinds of Spousal Support in Florida
When it comes to legal matters, people often speak in broad terms. They will discuss rulings, orders, and so on, bypassing the “nitty-gritty” of the matter. Because of this habit, we are often left underinformed about how things really work. Spousal support is one such legal matter.

The Challenges of Alimony for Men
In theory, gender shouldn’t affect any divorce ruling.

When Does Alimony End in Florida?
When a Florida couple divorces , the family court may grant that either spouse pay alimony to their husband or wife. There are four categories of alimony in Florida: 1) bridge-the-gap, 2) rehabilitative, 3) durational, and 4) permanent, or any combination of the above.
