A: That depends on the type of alimony the court awarded in your divorce. There are six different types of alimony that can be awarded in a Florida divorce. Without a few more facts from you, this question cannot be properly answered.

A: Which type of alimony was awarded? Usually, permanent periodic alimony stops when the recipient dies, or when the payor dies. More facts are needed in order to answer this question.
