AMOUNT OF DURATIONAL ALIMONY UNDER AMENDED FLORIDA LAW The amount of durational alimony is the lesser of the seeking spouse's actual need and 35 percent of the difference between both spouses' net income. Net income is determined under 61.30(2) and (3), Florida Statutes.
Caps on Terms of Alimony Florida's new law institutes caps on alimony terms for rehabilitative alimony and durational alimony: Rehabilitative alimony is now capped at 5 years. For marriages lasting 3 to 10 years, durational alimony can't exceed 50% of the marriage's length.
