Unlike child support, spousal support is often very difficult (if not impossible) to modify after the divorce is final, so getting it right the first time is a must!
i am in the midst of trying to work out a settlement with my stbx.We were married for over 20 years.Since 97 my pay has more than doubled.Her pay on the other hand has gone down.She went from a job that pays 24k with benefits and retirements to a 21k job with no benefits and retirement.She has changed jobs several times in the process.In addition she has blown money while we were married like a drunken sailor bringing in more and more debt while i work my butt off.Come to find out she is probably going to get considerable alimony for a long time.And she is entitled to half of my retirement. Since she doesnt have a retirement i am entitled to half of nothing.She hardly was ever there for me while we were married,hardly ever cooked , cleaned , etc, while i busted my butt trying to make a better future and taking care of the house, she has done nothing to contribute to the household.If anything she has just taken.And for her efforts she gets a raise and a retirement!And for all my efforts i get a substantial decrease in pay and my retirement is worth only half of what it was.How is this fair?
