View this case - free

Costa v. Costa, No. 4D06-688, COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, FOURTH DISTRICT, February 21, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: While the record supported the finding that the wife was in need of alimony, under § 61.08(2), Fla. Stat., the trial court should have awarded bridge-the-gap or temporary alimony rather than permanent periodic alimony. Since the wife indicated that she needed alimony until the children reached the age of majority, the award exceeded her needs.
