It depends upon the type of job she is working at. Generally, the geogrpahic socpe must only be reasonable and the entire state of florida may not be enforceable. IF you wish to discuss furhter, feel free to call or e-mail me. Thanks.

Re: non-competion contract
It is perfectly legal to require an employee to sign a non-compete. However, they have to be limited in geography and in scope. The one your wife is asked to sign may be too broad, however, it depends on a variety of circumstances including what type of business she is engaged in, how big the business is, and other factors.
I would be happy to review the non-compete agreement and give you my thoughts. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
