Lance,

My state has changed its D laws. Now instead of waiting out a year with a legal separation before you can D, it's now a no fault state. With that change came a couple of amendments. One concerning alimony. Before it was up to a judge whether alimony was granted, now if a spouse makes a third of the other spouse's salary it is automatically granted. The other law that goes into effect is that regardless of which spouse files, the one that makes the most money will have to pay both lawyer's fees.
