Punkin, I'm sorry to hear that the judge ruled in favor of the stated alimony. However, as you stated, you are one of the "lucky" ones to get alimoney in the state you live in. I hope that your xh coughs up the money he owes you and soon.
I saw where your state was due to get some severe storms. I hope that you are okay.
I think you are a very positive lady who is looking at the glass as half full, i.e., unlike the mlcers who are looking at the glass as half empty.
Take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
