What Fairness and Justice Requires in an Alimony Decision
Florida statutes list a catch all phrase - the judge may consider whatever fairness and justice requires. This phrase gives the judge the most discretion. This is why alimony is the most unpredictable part of divorce.
Since fairness and justice do not have an exact definition you cannot prepare for this factor. But the statute directs judges to consider all of the factors. Since you know about and can prepare for the other factors, it is financially worth an all-out effort to prove your side of the case. Address this factor by using common sense.
Something to consider: once permanent, periodic alimony is granted, the court has the right to modify the amount now and in the future.
