Florida Legislature Agrees to Abolish Permanent Alimony
BREAKING NEWS, March 2022
According to the Florida Bar, “The Legislature has agreed to abolish permanent alimony, give ex-spouses who pay alimony a “pathway to retirement,” and create a legal presumption that equal time sharing is in a child’s best interest.
The House voted 74-42 on March 9 to approve SB 1796 by Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota. Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka, R-Ft. Myers, sponsored the House companion, HB 1935.”
We will continue to monitor this situation and the changes it creates within Family Law.
