Factors Impacting Spousal Support in Florida

Spousal support, often colloquially called alimony, depends on a range of legal and practical issues. Florida courts evaluate the circumstances of both parties and aim to reach a fair outcome based on several different considerations.

These factors include:

The length of the marriage and each spouse’s economic status.
The standard of living established during the marriage.
Contributions to the household, including the care of children or elderly parents.
Support for the other spouse’s education or career.
The receiving spouse’s ability to become self-supporting through education or job training.
Any other factor the court finds relevant to fairness and the parties’ needs.

Military couples may face additional subtleties. With Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field in the region, deployment schedules, military benefits, and retirement pay can affect both income availability and support plans. Similarly, local economic patterns, such as seasonal tourism, can shape how assets and income are evaluated.

Spousal support often overlaps with related family law issues like property division, child support, and prenuptial agreements. Because Copus & Copus, P.A. handles these matters together, our approach treats each case holistically. We consider how a support order fits into your overall financial picture and future plans rather than viewing it in isolation.

Our team works with financial experts when needed to value pensions, business interests, and retirement accounts. We pursue negotiation first while remaining prepared to litigate if that path better protects your interests. Throughout, we prioritize clear communication so you understand options, likely timelines, and potential trade-offs.
