Huge alimony reform bill - am I alone in having a gut feeling that the new alimony bill will cause more litigation, not less? Looking for experienced lawyer's opinion, maybe who's practiced through such a similarly huge change in a law?

I have no input from a family law substantive standpoint, but I handle a lot of regulatory work in Florida and huge changes shake up the community. It’s an opportunity to write, make predictions, get your name out there as a “thought leader” (whatever that is).

I’m a 15 year family law attorney. No question the litigation flood gates are about to open if this alimony bill becomes law. I have clients paying permanent alimony that are chomping at the bit to file something. I have clients receiving permanent alimony that are scared. And don’t get me started on what will happen if the timesharing bill becomes law.

No, I don’t practice in that area. But for personal reasons, I’d love to hear your thoughts on why that is.

I am defending an eviction for a client who has given possession of the property (as of Nov. 30). Plaintiff’s complaint has one claim – possession. They did request relief for attorney’s fees. NJT/Final Hearing commenced 10/27, was only 30 min and was therefore continued to 12/20. Plaintiff had counsel at that time but they are no longer represented.  I want to file something notifying Court that Plaintiff claim is now moot, making sure that judgment is not entered that hurts (cont'd)..
