A new measure that eliminates permanent alimony pa A new measure that eliminates permanent alimony payments for ex-spouses in Florida has been signed into law.

Judges can now make 'modifications' to alimony payments after considering aspects such as the economic impact a reduction in payments would have on the recipient, and the ability of both parties to obtain the skills or education to enable themselves to either contribute to support or become self-supporting.

It can also be amended if “a supportive relationship exists or has existed” involving their ex-spouses in the previous year. Critics argue that this is too vague and could be interpreted to mean a roommate who helped an ex-spouse to cover their cost of living temporarily.

The decision has drawn widespread outrage, including from the First Wives Advocacy Group, a coalition of women who state the change will disproportionately affect women, and in particular older women.

We spoke to Tara Pretend Eagle Weber, a social worker based in Florida, who said, “This new alimony law is scary and frankly caters to wealthy men.

“Modifications = unaddressed issues in family court. Several modifications would take paying a lawyer for three or four appearances in court rather than getting it all addressed in one hearing. It is designed to overwhelm the ex-wife and mother to not have the money to pay for it all, meaning her issues may never be addressed.”

This means that circumstances such as domestic violence and abuse that took place within the marriage may never go on record. “At one point these hearings were either not being recorded or were at cost to the ex-wife to be recorded. It has been getting progressively worse as the years go by here in Florida,” Weber adds.
