What is the Difference Between Alimony and Spousal Support?


Alimony and spousal support are synonymous. It’s called, in Florida, alimony. Alimony is based off of need and ability, one spouse’s need for alimony and the other spouse’s ability to pay alimony. Duration of alimony is dependent on the length of the marriage, and there is now a statute in place which caps alimony at 35% of the net differential of the party’s income or the need of the other party. Whichever is less.
