Important disclaimer: This estimator is for general educational purposes only and does not provide legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, determine eligibility for alimony, or predict a court’s ruling. An actual award may be zero or substantially lower. It does not calculate temporary, bridge-the-gap, or rehabilitative alimony; imputed or fluctuating income; ability to pay; tax consequences; child support interactions; exceptional circumstances; or modification and termination issues.

Durational alimony is unavailable after a marriage lasting less than three years. Bridge-the-gap alimony may be available for up to two years, and rehabilitative alimony may be available for up to five years if its separate statutory requirements are met. A court may deviate from the standard duration limits under the exceptional-circumstances provisions of Florida law.
