12/01/07 - Dick Lindsey would like to report that at the legislative
delegation meeting (with Senate President Pruitt in attendance) on Dec.
3rd, we had 11 people in attendance of which 8 addressed the delegation.
The group exposed the injustices of the alimony scheme and requested a
change in the alimony law to limit alimony awards to no more than 3
years.
He was encouraged by the turnout and our numbers in attendance help lend
support to our cause. He appreciates the time and trouble the
participants took to make the showing.
He asks that you please write to your local legislators to urge their
support for the 3 year limit. You can even use a copy of my presentation
to send them if you want.
Thanks to all who made the effort to attend!

Florida House of Representatives
edited, rough draft of
proposed bill
to revise the alimony statutes. Dick Lindsey is working with Tallahassee
lobbyists to get this bill introduced into the legislature in an attempt
to model the Florida Statutes to be in line with states like Texas and
eliminate the "lifetime" aspect of alimony.

Gary Siplin had been introduced to eliminate alimony for ex-spouses who co-habitate.
This bill also has a Florida House of Representatives sponsor and is
known as H.B. 1181 by Bullard.
The Florida Legislature passed this
bill into law June 10, 2005 as follows:
Chapter 2005-168 - Siplin cohabitation
