I'd double check that - I've never heard of a pension where you get a buyout AND a pension payment. Discuss with your lawyer and if you can, with HR at his work.
I agree. And Ive never heard of Alimony for life. I mean not written that way. Certainly if married 50 years at age 80 but at your age if they are willing to write and sign to “alimony for the rest of your life” I’d take that in a heartbeat.
Lifetime alimony is going away yes but it still exists in certain circumstances and I tick 8 out of 10 boxes. I will get it.
