Senate Bill 250
Please find enclosed Senate Bill 250 that Senator Lee filed on September 10, 2015. Also, you will find The League of Women Voter’s President’s, Pamela Goodman, informed letter to Governor Scott on the subject of alimony “reform.” As you can see from a review of Senate Bill 250, the Bill proposes a presumption of 50/50 timesharing and proposes significantly reduced alimony awards as well as accelerated terminations. One issue in past sessions has been the lack of a fully informed body available to comment on this bill and the impact of the alleged “reform.” You are urged to review the proposed bill to determine your own views on the subjects of: 1) the presumption of equal timesharing; 2) significantly reducing alimony awards; and 3) limiting women’s access to the Courts. The ultimate question is whether this is fair to the women and children of the State of Florida. Thank you for your time and consideration.
