Maintaining the Same Lifestyle After Divorce
After a divorce, most people are faced with the fact that their lifestyle will change. The divorced spouses are going to face new financial challenges, particularly when there is a transition from a two-income household to a single-income household. Many expect that alimony will help them overcome those challenges. That is not necessarily the case.
While alimony does play a role in maintaining the same lifestyle after divorce, it has to be fair to both parties. In Florida, alimony laws have undergone changes recently. Essentially, there are now three types of alimony. These types are based primarily on the length of the marriage. Our attorneys are dedicated to making certain that, if there is alimony involved in your divorce, it is fair and meets your needs.
Alimony Is Taxable Income
For best results, alimony has to be considered in relation to all other factors. For example, while a certain amount of alimony every month may sound good on the surface, there are tax implications. It may also impact child support. We take a careful approach to alimony, thoroughly reviewing your unique situation and looking at all factors before guiding you to the option that makes the most sense.
