I am currently paying support and other expenses such as the mortgage, health care, childrens school, etc. It worked out to exactly 110% of my income and we are working on getting that changed with the help of a new attorney. I just cannot imagine that, beyond child support and asset division she would be entitled to alimony as well. I believe I understand that alimony is not to be used as income from which to live but to be used as support to help supplement her expenses until she can find a job. She has plans to remain a stay at home mother for the next three years and I don't understand why I should be on the hook to pay for this, especially in light of her long-term affair.
