I think you're right, Hoozhaaaah. I could hire an atty, pay for a occupational evaluator, and go that route, but that would get expensive. If she insists on permanent alimony, I will tho, because over that many years, it would make a difference.

I'm hoping I can appeal to her feminist sense of independence, as well as being able to save more $$$ to help our kids with eventual weddings.
