Does the Court Award Alimony and Spousal Support in a Dissolution Proceeding in Florida and What Factors Does it Consider?
Yes. The court may grant alimony to either party. Alimony may be permanent or rehabilitative in nature. The court may order periodic payments or payments in lump sum, or both. The court may consider the adultery of either spouse and the circumstances of the adultery in determining the amount of alimony, if any, to be awarded.
