Today's question is: "Sergio, I've heard there is many different types of alimony and I don't quite know how all of this works and what applies in my case. Can you please give us some guidance as to how alimony works in the state of Florida?"
Well, that's a common question and in a nutshell, in the most basic terms there's 4 types of alimony. I'll go through them now.
The first one is called temporary spousal support or temporary alimony.
This is a type of alimony that a judge may award while the parties are separated, but the divorce has not yet been finalized. The judge may award this temporary alimony to help a dependent spouse or the spouse that has the least amount of money maintain certain living expenses until a final decision can be made in their case and the divorce is finalized.
The second type of alimony is usually referred to as rehabilitative alimony.
Now, there is some controversy as to the term but it's still being used today to describe the type of alimony that's being paid to the spouse that needs to undergo a certain change, and needs that financial support in order to complete that change, in order to become employable and/or self-sufficient.
For example, let's suppose we have a case where there's a less pecunious spouse that is in need of completing certain educational studies. Or obtaining job experience. Or simply getting job training. He or she may be entitled to financial support from the other spouse until they are able to complete that training.
