What are the main factors the court is supposed to consider when determining an alimony award in Florida?

The primary factors that a Florida divorce court judge should consider are the “need” of the spouse requesting alimony and the “ability to pay alimony” of the other party.  Other factors that are relevant include the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, whether the parties were living beyond their means, and each party’s ability to work.
