[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long term alimony is on the way out for the vast majority of women divorcing now and in the near future, given that women now make up a large percentage of the workforce and are not dramatically less likely to have earning potential than men; however, this was not the case for today’s elderly women. It’s unfair for this change to affect divorce settlements that are already in effect. It should only affect ones that go into effect starting now, so people can negotiate and set their budgets accordingly.

I don’t understand the State’s interest in ending permanent alimony. Won’t this result in some more people on the public dole?[/quote]

I know, right?  If you are a young woman divorcing today, you are highly unlikely to get permanent alimony.  Those who built their lives when society was different should be offered different protections.  I have no idea what problem the man is trying to solve here.  I guess the cruelty is the point, again.

It’s really a shame so many of you seem unable to read.  This will not affect existing alimony agreements.   :roll:  :roll:

“Senate bill sponsor Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, tried to assure lawmakers that the 2023 version would not unconstitutionally affect existing alimony settlements.” [/quote]
Although lawmakers didn’t write a bill that automatically ends permanent alimony that is currently in effect, as one’s financial circumstances change, existing settlements can be modified. This bill doesn’t have airtight language that says that if you already have permanent alimony, it will remain permanent despite any other future modifications, so the stage is set for this to happen.[/quote]
