Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
temporary alimony
In less than 3 years of marriage (Aug 1997-June 2000), we seperated and sought divorce, which is still pending. There are no property or children invoved in the dispute. My ex and her attorney are asking the court for temporary alimony and her attorney's estimated legal fees, stating that my income is more than hers!! Does she have legal rights to claim alimony or expect me to pay her attorney fees?? what is your best legal advice in this matter? Thank you for your time.

Re: temporary alimony
Minimal alimony is warranted only if she can show she requires rehabilitative alimony to help her to receive training in order to earn income to support herself, or to support herself because of some disbility or illness during the marriage. Alimony, if any, should be minimal. If your income was substantially greater than hers, you may be required to pay for much of the attorneys fees.
