[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much does your DH make?  If you only have $80K in assets I'm going to assume he makes less than $100K.  Remember that alimony is no longer tax deductible for the payor or taxable income for the recipient so if my guess is right the amount of alimony probably won't be very high.[/quote]

140k and 160k with his bonus. This is net pay. [/quote]

Good luck supporting two households on that. [/quote]

OP works PT. He would need to supplement the difference. It is not the same as supporting two incomes. $1600 a month in rent is cheap. [/quote]

That is not how spousal support works. You clearly have not been divorced.[/quote]

They can agree on a number. Again, your divorce isn't the same as everyone else. [/quote]

Men usually just do not "agree" to do what is best for the woman. No divorce is the same, but this aspect is pretty much universal. She needs to ask an attorney what is reasonable to expect and then go from there. I waited until my kids were in elementary. Many people do due to childcare costs. People underestimate how expensive it is for both parents to have their own households after a divorce. If one person is working little or not at all, then the money for one household goes toward two and both people have to really downgrade. This is reality. Before making a decision about divorce people have to be realistic about what that means financially and when is a good time to do it. I was also in a bad marriage.[/quote]

Her rent is $1600. Its safe to say they're okay with downgrading. [/quote]
