And still struggling

[Jim1234]

Jim, when do you think you'll actually get divorced?

I don't know. I simply don't have any reason right now to push it, so, knowing my WAW's penchant for not doing this kind of thing, it might be a while.

But, I've heard that with the new tax law, alimony is no longer deductable to the payor, UNLESS THE DIVORCE IS FINALIZED before the end of 2018. That's something I'm surprised I haven't seen discussed on this forum. I have to do some more research, but if this is true, I will probably start pushing it.

Or I could get a new girlfriend, and decide I don't want to be married.

Or she could surprise me and send my lawyer a settlement proposal tomorrow. I just don't know. Taking it one day at a time......
