FRIDAY-ISM 007: In Honor of Mother's Day:
"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."  - Washington Irving

Permanent Alimony Wins the Fight

Alimony recipients can rest easy. The Florida Alimony Reform Bill was recently vetoed by Governor Rick Scott. He did not agree with the bill's retroactive application towards families and divorcees. Specifically, he stated that bill would "tamper with the settled economic expectations of many Floridians who have experienced divorce." He further noted that the current Florida law "ensures that spouses who have sacrificed their careers to raise a family do not suffer financial catastrophe upon divorce." Gov. Scott appreciated the forward-looking nature of the bill. However, its retroactive application was its ultimate demise.
