More than you want to spend . Do NOT offer to pay maintenance for any more than 3 years or for more than 20% of your gross income . Don't forget that maintenance is tax deductible to you and taxable to her . Counter-offer , CS per state guidelines , maintence for 1 year at no more than 10% of your gross and you get to claim the kids for tax purposes every other year and a 50/50 split of any marital property . If you can , take less of the marital estate to lower maintenance .
