    Default Spousal support in Florida

    A woman and man have been married just short of 30 years. She dedicated herself to children and supporting husband as he climbed the ladder. On 12/31/06 he phones and tells her he's been having an affair for about a year. Truth, as she's about to soon find out is the affair has been off and on for 10 years and on 1/1/07 a baby was born out of the affair. Not an accident, mind you. The husband had a vasectomy many years ago and underwent sperm retrieval for an IVF procedure for his mistress.
    The marrried couple have 3 children, the two youngest in college. The wife doesn't work.
    What do you think can come of this divorce financially for her? Also, during part of the affair, the married couple resided in NC which is a state that allows suit for alienation of affection. Would that be considered in a Florida divorce?

    She should work with a very good family lawyer, and go for permanent spousal support, or a really big lump sum ("alimony in gross").

    No.
