[quote]thanks for your input.The reason i get a little nervous about the support is because under a temporary order i am paying about 30 percent of my gross.I understand it serves a different purpose than permanent support , but once that number is out there it gives some people the impression that this number is close to the permanent support amount. [/quote]
one atty i saw told me point blank, they are supposed to ignore the temp support number and start from scratch but that's not how it works around here unfortunately. So she told me to expect that as a minimum number.
the 2nd atty i saw told me point blank that the courts only care that they leave me 748 a month to live on. Though i didnt ask her where that number came from.

Whatever you do, be sure to include an ability to modify the settlement agreement in the future. If you don't, the courts will look at the contract as if it were written in stone and you will never get a chance to reduce your alimony with adverse events affecting your financial condition.

while that advice is very good, and some ill be taking myself, i initially thought it best to have non modifiable. I figured why not lock myself into X years for X dollars and thats it, end of story forever. But then i thought what if i get disabled etc etc

yep modifiable is the only way to go unless you have access to alot of money.To the giver it is too huge of a risk to have it non-modifiable i my opinion.Too many things can happen in a span of say 8-10 years.

As a giver in a modifiable aggreement, if you start earning more money your x can come after for more, and if she earns more later on you can reduce your support. right?

I thought it was based on the givers income during the course of the marriage. Say I made $135K a year during the marriage and then $200K afterwards. I didn't think the ex could get an upward adjustment.
Then again, my ex agreed to a non-modifiable SS agreement with SS set at $0. (I made $135K, he made $22K) Dumb butt... :)
