Senate Bill 1248 passed the Senate Appropriations Committee by a 12 – 6 margin and has gone to the Senate for an up-or-down vote. NPO’s Robert Franklin blogged about the bill here. The bill would reform both alimony law and parenting time for divorced parents. The alimony portion would limit both the amount and duration of alimony awards. The parenting time portion establishes a presumption of “approximately equal time-sharing” by both parents.
This is an important bill. To help it pass, please contact Florida senators and express your support for the bill in a calm, temperate and fact based way. Here is contact information for Florida senators:
