[quote=Anonymous]OP, early on I said consult a lawyer. The remainder of this thread only reinforces that. If you have a large income differential and have been married for 20 years, you will almost certainly get alimony. In Virginia, the formula with minor children is 28% of his income minus 58% of yours. Where it can get tricky is imputing your income capability if you don’t currently work. Child support is also formulaic— and you get more if you have physical custody. In Virginia, a judge would likely award lifetime alimony for marriages of more than 20 years absent proof of adultery or constructive desertion (even in a no-fault case). You live in Maryland and I don’t know the laws there. But please spend the $400 or so for a lawyer consultation.[/quote]
