Alimony is among the most contentious
issues in a divorce and Florida lawmakers are on the verge of bringing about a
change to existing laws on alimony and child-support. Sen. Kelli Stargel,
R-Lakeland has sponsored bill SB668 that seeks to put an end to permanent
alimony. If passed, alimony payments will be determined on a formula based on
the length of the marriage while the amount can be changed if the recipient
spouse retires, gets a salary hike, or has the support of another partner.
Fort Myers, FL divorce lawyers are
reading about this with severe scrutiny. One of the best in the business is Michael
Raheb (www.michaelraheb.com/). He
knows how to win cases and has been doing it for years. He is one of the top
divorce lawyers in The Sunshine State and the best in the Fort Meyers area. He
has a legal playbook that has more plays in it than the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have in
their playbook combined. His knowledge of Florida divorce law is so deep that if it was
a hole in the ground it would make the Mariana Trench look like a fence post
hole.
Fathers
will stop being abused by the system and their spouses
As reported by heraldtribune.com, the new law could impact
as many as 80,000 divorces that are filed every year. The bill aims to create a
principle that child sharing ought to be shared ‘approximately equally’ between
the parents after a divorce. Key house leaders approved of modifications to the
original bill, which would have otherwise been jeopardized in the 2016 session.
Fathers have been getting mistreated and
shut out for decades – many people all this shameful and disgusting. Political
correctness has damaged children and fathers for many years.
The bill was earlier introduced in 2013
but was struck down by Gov. Rick Scott. According to Fort Myers, FL divorce lawyers
and the finest in this area of law is Michael Raheb, this time around, Sen.
Tom Lee, R-Brandon stopped short of his original plan to have divorce cases
begin with the assumption that child sharing must be based on 50-50
participation between the parents. For the most part, a judge can now start at
a 50-50 premise that a child should spend equal amounts of time with each
parent without making it a legal right.
According to divorce attorneys in
Florida and one of the heavyweight hitters in family law in Florida is Michael
Raheb, the bill was cleared by a 13-6 vote in the Appropriations Committee.
Testifying before the committee, retired circuit judge from Polk County Robert
Doyel question in what manner the courts could possibly interpret terms such as
‘approximately equal’ and ‘premise’ in child sharing. He was of the opinion
that it could lead to several legal complications. He also questioned the
formula for setting a range on alimony, which he feared could lead to
subjective and impulsive results. So he wants fathers to continue to be abused
while their children do not see them enough?
How many fathers across America have
been ripped off via the system? Why get married and have kids at all if you
risk financial imprisonment?
The bill found support from the advocacy
group Family Law Reform’s head, Alan Frisher, who said that judges would now
benefit from the formula after years of having no guide to base their decisions
on. The bill is likely to be taken up by the senate on Friday.
A floor vote will have it sent to the
House where a similar bill is pending a vote. Some Fort Myers, FL divorce
lawyers believe the bill is a marked improvement on the previous one passed in
2013. Whether the state is closer to putting an end to permanent alimony, is
now in the hands of the senate. Opponents of the bill claim that thousands of
women may be thrown into poverty (Woman do not work? Is someone telling them
not to work? This is not Saudi Arabia!) while proponents say that the paying
partner will have a clearer picture of what to expect.
