A side issue re. your wife's "activities".....Is CT a state where adultery is grounds for divorce? In my state it's a no fault state so adultery is irrelevant. Not sure the judge would make a decision on alimony based on that info or not.
Isn't it more important about the ability of your wife to support herself? She is very capable of that! Can you concentrate of her level of education and abilities. In my state they call it "maintance" and it's usually given to help the person get a good job,etc, not for support for the rest of one's life. Of course, length of marriage and "the lifestyle she has grown accustomed to" may also play a role.
It doesn't seem fair since SHE was the one that started the divorce!!!!!
