Abstract
- The article discusses a theory-based approach to alimony reform in Florida, focusing on the Florida Legislature's modifications to the state's alimony laws with regards to the factors that judges should consider in determining whether an alimony award should be issued. Fault-based divorce, a damages theory for alimony, and no-fault divorce statutes in places such as California are mentioned. The Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, social change, and compensation for a loss are examined.
