I was married 28 years.
My income was approx. $125k year.
Ex DW made about $45k.
I pay $1600/mo for 10 years or until she remarries. So far I’ve paid 6 years worth.
I also paid $1500/mo child support for my 16YO son. That ended when he turned 18.
I paid most of his college tuition utilizing my income and a very well endowed 529 plan that I set up years ago.
I am now paying his rent while he attends law school on a full scholarship. He’s a hard working young man and I vowed that my divorce wouldn’t affect his ability to achieve his goals.
His mother does next to nothing to support our son. Says she can’t afford it. She has a net worth of a little over $1MM. She could do something.
I get along ok with her but I’m happy to be out of that marriage.

^^^^ PP here.
I also gave her a lump sum of almost $500k and volunteered my 1/2 of our joint home which had no mortgage.
Well worth it.

Do you think the ex will remarry or hold out for the full alimony? My bet will be she will remarry to be supported again. $5K and $2K a month are low numbers for COLA in the DMV.

These are exactly the kinds of unjust and offensive awards that modern alimony reforms are eliminating. Unless you are severely disabled, there is absolutely zero reason that you don’t have a fulltime job.

I said I worked part time while married.

And now you work full time? And why exactly do you deserve $156K/year from a former spouse?
