In the State of Florida, the supportive relationship statute allows the payor of alimony to have their alimony obligation reduced or terminated if their ex-spouse is in a supportive relationship.
The court shall consider and make written findings of fact regarding all relevant facts and additional factors.
Factor f. to be considered is:
“The extent to which the obligee or the other person has performed valuable services for the other’s company or employer.”
For example, if the other person provides services for the obligee’s company such as being a consultant, participating in sales and networking, and helping to manage the company’s books, these may be considered valuable services.
These services provide value and a substantial form of support to the obligee and therefore would be considered in an alimony modification case.
