Sarasota Alimony Attorney
When a divorce case reaches the stage of determining alimony, a judge decides what amount will be paid. There is no calculation and there is no mediation. In these situations, you need an experienced attorney on your side. At the law office of Philip J. Schipani, P.A., we will build your case and provide the judge with an accurate and complete representation of the financial state of your marriage.
You should contact a Sarasota alimony attorney to describe the many different kinds of alimony, including:
- Temporary alimony: Florida courts realize the financial stress involved with divorce proceedings and allow for temporary alimony to be paid until a more permanent agreement can be made.
- Lump sum alimony: A one-time payment as an alternative to monthly payments made for an undetermined amount of time.
- Bridge-the-gap alimony: A special type of support awarded for a shorter amount of time to allow the receiving spouse to focus on becoming financially independent.
- Durational alimony: Alimony awarded in moderate-term marriages for a modifiable period of time.
- Permanent alimony: Alimony awarded in long-term marriages or marriages that have lasted 19 or more years.
