[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 20 years you will get alimony for life. [/quote] That doesn’t really play out in reality. I’m not in VA but in a very alimony friendly state if you’ve been married a long time. Married 25 years so according to the guidelines I could have gotten it for life. I got the equivalent of 8 years upfront. Ours is a complicated situation and it wasn’t in cash but the equivalent of 8 years. We mediated and did not go to court so we just had to agree. The only reason I agreed is I ended up with significant assets. Enough that I don’t have to work if I don’t want to. I haven’t worked for 18 years. Alimony is a crap shoot. It’s much better if you can work something out between the two of you vs going to court. [/quote] I also have 2 friends in similar situations. They both went to court. One got nothing. The other got 8 years at the midrange of the scale. [/quote]
