I am filing for divorce in the state of Florida due to prolonged physical, sexual, emotional abuse. I am now certified permanently disabled psychologically(PTSD) and physically(spinal) because of the abuse from him. I think I should be entitled to alimony/spousal support due to the abusive relationship affecting my ability to work, function normally, etc. Is this likely that the courts will recognize my case and grant support?
Answer
yes, use of a lawyer is recommended in your case.
Answer
Sounds like you have a decent shot at permanent alimony.
You should consult with an experienced family lawyer asap.
Reimbursement of your attorney fees and costs should be pursued.
Answer
Short Answer: Yes
Longer Answer: The court has several factors it must consider in any alimony award. Your disabled condition for sure but also the differences in income available. If you receive $1,500 per month in disability and he earns $ 2,000 per month, probably the Judge says no. If he earns $4,000 per month probably yes. No bright line test or rule, primarily the Judges discretion.
