Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am filing for divorce in the state of Florida due to prolonged physical, sexual, emotional abuse. I am now certified permanently disabled psychologically(PTSD) and physically(spinal) because of the abuse from him. I think I should be entitled to alimony/spousal support due to the abusive relationship affecting my ability to work, function normally, etc. Is this likely that the courts will recognize my case and grant support?
