[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why does an educated mid 50s woman need 15 years of alimony to get herself back into the workforce and be self supporting? She sounds like a lazy abuser of ancient alimony laws. It's crazy this can still happen in 2018, thank god for alimony reform laws.

He should go back to court and have her fair market value income imputed against his payments, and the term greatly reduced based on a reasonable career trajectory.[/quote]

+1,000.

Agree![/quote]

Meh. Usually the only people who pay such high levels of alimony make very high incomes. It's unlikely that a fair market value of a potential 40K income would have any impact on the amount of alimony that he pays his ex.

It also sounds like both this guy and OP make a good salary. If you're both well off and you're looking at the alimony as another diamond ring he could buy for you, it's not going to work with this guy. He has a past. He has to live with the repercussions of past choices. You have control over the decision to date him (or not.)

Get over it. [/quote]
