Alimony Case – Standard of Living in Florida

It is the exceptional case where a couple’s resources are sufficient to maintain two separate households with the same standard of living. “The standard-of-living is not a super-factor” over the other considerations. Donoff v. Donoff, 940 So. 2d 1221, 1225 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006); see Pirino v. Pirino, 549 So. 2d 219, 220 (Fla. 5th DCA 1989) (‘Indeed, it is the exceptional case when a couple’s resources and earnings prove sufficient to maintain two independent households in the same manner as the original household.).” Beasley v. Beasley.

Why High-Income Divorces Require a Focused Legal Strategy

When large incomes or valuable assets are involved, disputes about the standard of living can quickly escalate. Spouses may disagree on what was “normal” during the marriage, especially when expenses included private schools, luxury travel, or multiple properties.

Every high-income divorce comes with distinct details that must be analyzed carefully. We break down the numbers and create strong financial arguments to meet Florida’s legal standards. This level of preparation helps you avoid surprises in court and negotiate from a position of strength.
