Florida’s family law has been evolving and it is hard to keep up. These changes impact alimony, property division, parenting plans, and more. At Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti, our goal is always to help families navigate these updates efficiently and with as little stress as possible.
-
Alimony Is Changing—With New Limits on Duration
Florida is moving away from long-term or permanent alimony. Instead, the focus is on rehabilitative and durational support, with specific limits tied to the length of the marriage.
- Bridge-the-gap support: Up to 2 years.
- Rehabilitative alimony: Limited to 5 years
- Durational alimony: Capped based on marriage length
Why it matters: These changes aim to help the lower-income spouse build financial independence. At Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti, we ensure that your support award aligns with current law and your long-term objectives.
For marriages under 10 years, expect shorter and more defined alimony periods. Longer marriages may still involve support, but always within the new statutory limits
Our advantage: We help clients understand how their marriage duration affects support awards and negotiate solutions aligned with these new standards.
-
Asset Division: Enterprise Goodwill Now Recognized
A July 2024 update requires courts to recognize enterprise goodwill when evaluating business values, unless a non-compete clause proves that goodwill doesn’t apply
Client benefit: If one spouse owns a business, there’s now stronger protection for both the owner and non-owner partners. We collaborate with top financial experts to ensure that your assets are thoroughly and accurately evaluated.
-
Co-Parenting First: 50/50 Time-Sharing Presumption
As of mid-2023, Florida presumes a 50/50 parenting schedule is in a child’s best interest. Courts generally favor shared parenting unless there is an apparent reason not to, such as safety concerns.
Our guidance: We help clients develop parenting plans that reflect this presumption—balancing schedules, responsibilities, and communication to prioritize the best interests of children.
-
Child Support & Parenting Orders Are Smarter and Simpler
2025 updates include:
- More innovative child support formulas that reflect real-world expenses and shared parenting.
- More transparent parenting order processes that emphasize cooperative decision-making .
Our support: We walk families through support recalculations and parenting plan modifications quickly and accurately.
