Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Alimony
If he is the one working and you can't find a job, can you get alimony to help you get on your feet when you get divorced? Is Florida an Alimony state and if so, is it fair to the person receiving the alimony?

Re: Alimony
There are provisions for several types of alimony. Whether a spouse gets an award and what kind depends on many factors. Some factors are the ability of the paying spouse to pay, whether there are young children at home, the level of education of the receiving spouse, the length of the marriage, the need to learn a trade in order to become self-supporting, that sort of thing. I would highly recommend discussing your particular case with an attorney, at least for one consultation. There are too many factors involved with alimony to discuss here.
