"Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday signed a measure that will overhaul the state's alimony laws, after three vetoes of similar bills and a decade of emotional clashes over the issue."

A true victory for the institution of marriage and the rights of men.

Finished the article

It's a tiny step forward.

It technically gets rid of permanent alimony, but only for new couples. Existing payers will have to go to court to have their setups adjusted, and that's not a guarantee. They just now get to have their "right to retire" considered as part of the adjustment, which it very much wasn't before.

I was curious about what the statistics are for the alimony arrangements that currently exist. As the article says, any "non-modifiable agreement[s]" will continue to be so. I don't really know how common that is or what that entails. But on the surface, this seems good. I, being a Floridian, am very happy that we are taking another step toward making our state slightly less shitty.

Non-modifiable divorce agreements are fairly common, unfortunately. I had to finish paying spousal support to my ex >WHO WAS IN JAIL FOR MAKING KIDDIE PORN WITH ONE OF OUR CHILDREN<. I even had to pay child support to her until I could get a hearing and have the magistrate adjust the final decree. The family court system hates fathers, it cannot be salvaged at this point.
