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!
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
