Alimony disputes in Boca Raton often involve long marriages, substantial lifestyles, and a wide income gap between the spouses. One spouse may have earned well throughout the marriage while the other managed the household, raised the children, and built the social life the couple shared. When that marriage ends, the financial picture each spouse faces going forward looks very different, and the alimony determination is where the court addresses the gap.
Brodzki Jacobs represents clients in Boca Raton and across Palm Beach County on both sides of alimony disputes, whether the issue is establishing support in a divorce, enforcing an order that is not being followed, or modifying an award that no longer reflects reality.
Florida does not use a formula for alimony, which means the outcome depends on how persuasively the facts of the marriage are presented. The same income and lifestyle figures can support very different awards depending on how they are framed, and that framing is where representation matters.
An alimony order is only as useful as the other party’s willingness to follow it, and in practice, payments do not always arrive. When a spouse falls behind, Brodzki Jacobs can pursue enforcement through the court, including contempt proceedings, income withholding, and other remedies Florida law provides. The firm also represents the paying spouse when an enforcement action is based on a misunderstanding or when the circumstances have changed enough to justify a modification rather than a contempt finding.
Enforcement and modification often arise together, because a spouse who stops paying may claim their income has dropped, while the receiving spouse may suspect the drop is voluntary. Brodzki Jacobs sorts through the financial evidence to present the accurate picture to the court.
Whether you are seeking support, defending against a claim, or dealing with an order that is not being followed, Brodzki Jacobs can give you a clear-eyed assessment of where you stand and what the law allows. Call 954-932-8300 to speak with an alimony attorney about your situation.
