Look to Our Florida Alimony Attorneys for Support

Alimony, otherwise known as spousal support, is meant to provide a source of income and support for the spouse who earned less during the marriage. While much of the household expense goes toward caring for the children, spousal support differs from child support. Alimony is meant to provide for that spouse, who may have been more dependent on the income of the earning spouse to maintain the household or lifestyle of the family. If, for example, the family was accustomed to a certain standard of living, spousal support payments can help maintain that lifestyle.
