TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Permanent alimony would end under legislation heading to the House floor, but it’s a provision in the bill dealing with time-sharing of children that seems to be causing the most controversy.
Under the legislation, alimony payments could only last for half the length of a marriage, unless the recipient is medically needy or caring for a disabled child.
Both men and women making endless payments to their exes testified in support.
“I can barely pay this monthly alimony and I don’t see any end in sight,” said permanent alimony payer Sonia Delgado.
