'Tavares-based Florida Alimony Reform's efforts to change the state's alimony laws took a big leap forward in the Florida Legislature Thursday when the House Civil Justice Subcommittee voted 10-2 in favor of HB 231.

Sponsored by state Rep. Ritch Workman, R-Melbourne, HB 231 revises factors to be considered when awarding alimony, including how much and for how long.

Workman told fellow lawmakers that the state's alimony laws are "archaic" and that FAR's goal is to provide better guidelines for the courts to follow.'

Notice that the motivating case, the showing of a clearly-out-of-control situation, is where a female has to pay a male permanent alimony. There was no significant legislative action in response to male complaints. Men's complaints don't matter. We as a culture live only to please women.
