Alimony...

My wife of 30 yrs is disabled. I filed for a divorce and she agrees, but we can't come to financial terms. She is not able to work, but wants to leave the money in the 401K until I retire and she wants to draw money at that time. I offered her half the value of the house and half of my 401K that came to around $250,000. She contested and wants alimony. She gets $700/mo SSD and I make about $5500/mo. How much alimony will/should I have to pay?

If you're making less than 80% of her SSD income, I doubt you'd pay ANY alimony. She might owe you! Unless there was a typo in your original post.

Only an attorney in TN can give you the prevailing attitude in your area, as it varies greatly from state to state, and even courtroom to courtroom and judge to judge. With your large descrepency in income, the length of the marriage, and your wife's disability, expect you will have to pay alimony for a lifetime. Only an attorney could give you an estimate of the amount.
