Alimony is set up based on the difference of incomes as well as the term of the marriage. So even if you got a job, I don't think it would make this huge dent in the differential. I mean with my ex, he makes a little over two times what I do and we were married for 19 years, he gives me ca $700 a month for 6 years and child support until they are 18 or out of high school. I do get over half of what he makes between the two. He did quit his second job so I wouldn't get as much.
Just so you have an idea.
