'Change permanent alimony'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Say you married your high school sweetheart, and he or she stayed home to raise the kids. Now 20 years later, you've grown apart and gotten divorced.

Along with a fair distribution of your lifetime savings, you'd probably agree that it's fair to pay alimony for a good number of years to help your former spouse find his or her way in the next chapter of life.

But should you be forced to pay alimony for the rest of your life?

Current law says a judge can make you pay alimony until you die, or until your former spouse remarries, something exes have been known to delay so as not to end the alimony gravy train.

As it stands, "permanent alimony" amounts to a life sentence. It is an outdated law that should be changed in the next session of the Florida Legislature.'
