There are currently four types of alimony awarded in a Florida divorce: bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational and permanent. The type of alimony awarded is based in part on the length of the marriage; a marriage is considered short-term if it’s less than 7 years, moderate if between 7 and 17 years and long-term if 17 years or greater.
