Oh I would question a womans 'lifeime ' need for spousal support as well.
I know spousal support is based on the presumption that WAS would never get to the level of carreer achievement without LBS support ...but likeI am wise if LBS is in fact the primary child minder , I believe that they ahave been blessed with the best life of all. Without WAS support LBS would never of had the privelage and joy of spending so much time with kids.
However , I questioning the need to negotiate this lifetime thing. Would she be more happy with a cut off date in line with youngest child turning 18. Could the LBS not of trained, studied began work in that time. Spousal support could support the lazy and non achievers.
I take my reward for support in a more equitable division of relationship property. That way I am free of WAS and independent was in turn gives me much more confidence and self esteem than I would if i was hanging on to every dollar a WAS ( who no longer loved me ) earned !
Remember lawyers take a non emotive approach to divorce. They are not interested in the fact that the future needs to bring some sort of relationship between parties.
