Alimony when there is Cheating

Posted by Gordon Shayne | Oct 22, 2024 | 0 Comments

  Does Cheating Make a Difference During Divorce     

  In Florida, it is important to know if one party had an affair BEFORE either a Husband or a Wife can get Alimony. A Divorce case must be filed. Our lawyer can help you with filing your Divorce case. 

   One the Divorce case is filed, it is possible to have a Judge sign a Court Order that says that one of the spouses must pay Alimony to the other Spouse. 

    Alimony is a way to get money from the other spouse, either temporarily or for a longer time period. When a Spouse Cheats or has an AFFAIR or ADULTERY during the marriage, Florida law says that a judge may consider the facts of the affair of either spouse and the “resulting economic impact.” This means that if the Affair caused financial problems to the person asking for Alimony, the judge can use discretion in deciding what, if any, alimony is to be awarded.
