I agree with justafriend. There seems to be a huge discrepancy. And yes it's all about how vicious is your lawyer

My fiancée pays a huge amount of alimony to his able bodied ex who refuses to work. She has college decree and kids are long grown. Her lawyer argued that since she never worked she will need several years to be able to get on her feet. They always struggled and even had to declare bankruptcy ( so it's not like she didn't work because he made a lot) but she still wouldn't work. We still have several years left of paying. He also was required to pay for her lawyer fees because she had no job but he is professionally employed. She was the one who left him and the one to file for divorce. None makes sense.

There is some other thread here where woman with kids makes three times less than her ex yet she needs to move out and rent the apartment with the kids while he will be living in the house with his lover, it's all before they even got divorce finalized. This is nuts
