You have the money? You pay alimony

Article here. Excerpt:

'Florida's alimony system, like the Florida auto accident system, is based on a "no-fault system." It doesn't matter who ran the red light or who betrayed the marriage. The one who has the money pays.

In divorce, in the vast majority of cases, there is usually one party who is more "at fault" than the other. It is not uncommon for one of the spouses to be involved in extramarital affairs, involved with drugs or alcohol, or be engaged in other aberrant behavior that is destructive to the marriage.
...
However, none of this behavior has any bearing on the final alimony award. When alimony laws were written decades ago, the stay-at-home spouse did not have the opportunity to develop marketable business skills that would allow him or her to re-enter the workforce.'
