Alimony is typically based on the income difference between spouses, adjusted for marriage length and state-specific guidelines. Florida uses roughly 30% of the income difference, but this varies by state.

How long does alimony last?

Duration varies by state and marriage length. Short marriages (under 5 years) may result in temporary alimony. Long-term marriages often have longer alimony obligations.

Can alimony be modified?

Yes. Significant changes in income or employment status may justify modification. You'd need to file a motion with the court.

Is alimony tax-deductible?

As of 2019, alimony is generally NOT tax-deductible for federal taxes (but this varies by state and divorce date). Consult a tax professional.

What's the difference between alimony and child support?
