In this video, divorce lawyer in Tampa, Gary Dolgin explains the Supportive Relationship Statute in Florida regarding alimony.
“Do you have an alimony issue where you’re paying alimony to your former spouse who is living with another individual, and you don’t believe this is fair?
Well, Florida has a statute known as the Supportive Relationship Statute, in which a Judge, after considering many factors, could either reduce or terminate your alimony obligation if your ex-spouse and another individual are involved in what is essentially a relationship in which they are essentially married.
What does a judge look at?
Well, have they acquired property together?
Have they acquired a business together?
Do they have a joint bank account?
Do they support each other financially?
Do they support each other’s children?
Those are just some of the many examples that a Judge would look at in determining whether a supportive relationship exists and whether you may be eligible to have your alimony either reduced or terminated.”
