A major overhaul of Florida’s alimony and custody laws is headed to the governor’s desk.
The controversial measure ends lifetime alimony payments. It would also change the way judges settle child custody cases too, with the premise that children split time equally between both parents.

We discuss these changes and their potential effects with Jacksonville family attorney Heather Quick.
The World Economic Forum, the annual meeting of global political and business leaders, was recently held in Davos, Switzerland. Pat Geraghty, CEO of Florida Blue, was the only Jacksonville business leader to attend this year's event. He joins us with his takeaways.
