28 years? Where on earth does he get this idea from?

You're young, no kids - the divorce should be extremely simple in most states. Split up the assets acquired during the marriage 50:50 (ok, maybe not in states that aren't community property states, but in most). If there is a big difference in your earning capacities, alimony by formula for half the number of years you were married. If he earned retirement benefits during that time, that also gets split by a formula (heads up - you don't get much). And usually THAT'S IT. So where does he get the idea that he'll be paying for 28 years????
