Answers that cite the statute.
Is Florida a 50/50 custody state?
After 2023 reforms, Florida applies a rebuttable presumption of equal time-sharing. Courts can deviate based on the statutory best-interest factors.
How long is alimony in Florida?
Permanent alimony was eliminated in 2023. Durational alimony is now capped based on marriage length — generally no more than 50% of the marriage's duration for short marriages, 60% for moderate, 75% for long.
Do I have to go to trial?
Most divorces resolve at mediation. Trial is the backstop if a fair agreement is not achievable.
