Separated in June, trying to work out the separation agreement with my STBX. Married 24 years, she is 56 so the Rule of 65 works out to 80! STBX is not working and could probably earn no more than $20~$25K if she tried.
DivorceMate/MySupportCalculator/my lawyer all say that I'll have to pay support indefinitely. From what I read and heard, in my case indefinite really means until the STBX passes away. I've also heard that in some cases indefinite does end.
What do you think my chances are of support not being forever?
How do you structure the Spousal Support agreement to take into account when I retire? I plan to start a business and don't want my STBX coming back to ask for more if I am successful. I also don't want to retire on a greatly reduced salary and loose most of it in SS.
Any thoughts, advice are welcome!
