What Florida law says about supportive relationships

Under Florida Statute 61.14, a court may reduce or terminate alimony when a supportive relationship exists between the person receiving alimony and someone they live with. The law does not require marriage. What matters is the reality of the relationship: shared residence, shared expenses, and the two people functioning economically as a couple. Proving that reality takes documentation, not accusations.

What we prove

We build the factual record a judge looks for: whether the couple lives together and how consistently, whether they share a home and daily life, joint outings and travel, vehicles kept at the residence overnight, and the outward signs of a combined household. The result is a clear timeline supported by video, photographs, and a written report.

Why weeks of documentation matter

A single photograph proves nothing. A pattern proves everything. Supportive relationship cases are won on consistency over time, which is why we document across days and weeks rather than a single visit. That patient record is what stands up when the other side claims the partner is just a visitor.

An investigation team that knows the standard

Because our firm is led by a licensed Florida attorney, we understand exactly what a 61.14 motion needs and we gather to that standard. We are not guessing at what the court wants. We have seen it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a supportive relationship in Florida?

It is two people living together and functioning economically as a couple, sharing a residence and expenses. Marriage is not required. The court looks at the reality of the arrangement over time.

How long does an alimony investigation take?

These cases are built on a pattern, so they typically run over several sessions across a few weeks. We scope the schedule to the living situation you describe.

What will the investigation cost?

It depends on how much documentation the case needs. We provide a clear written estimate and a retainer figure, commonly in the $1,500 to $3,000 range for these matters, before any work starts.

Can this really reduce or end my alimony?

If a supportive relationship exists and is documented properly, Florida Statute 61.14 gives the court authority to reduce or terminate alimony. Our job is to hand your attorney the proof.

Is the surveillance legal?

Yes. We document from public vantage points and follow Florida recording and tracking law, so the evidence is gathered legally and built to be admissible.
