After more than 20 years in a marriage, there may be a right to permanent alimony. Our Clearwater, Florida, divorce and alimony lawyers are experienced professionals and provide attentive care to our clients' needs. We've helped clients obtain alimony and spousal support regardless of their situation.

We have found that most people who have worked hard in their marriages are granted the right to alimony.

There are different degrees of alimony, including:

• Temporary alimony - A form of payment paid toward the lesser-paid spouse, which generally covers the costs in the divorce proceedings. It typically also covers basic costs, such as food and living expenses during that time period.
• Rehabilitative alimony - An amount of spousal support that is paid to the lesser-earning spouse who may have been a stay-at-home parent throughout the marriage. This form of alimony provides for the spouse until he or she is financially independent or able to start working.
• Lump-sum alimony - Is literally a lump sum of spousal support that the payor pays the payee after a divorce. This amount is typically set up as a payment plan over a specific number of years — continuing regardless if the payee remarries or no longer requires alimony.
• Durational Alimony - Similar to temporary or Rehabilitative alimony but used in marriages that may not be suitable for permanent alimony award.
• Permanent alimony - Similar to child support, permanent alimony is a monthly amount paid to the payee until either the payor or payee dies, or until the payee remarries.
