My question involves a marriage in the state of:Maryland
So here goes. I've been married to this woman for 12 years, two children with her and two homes. Our main home (everybody lives in) and rental property (both acquired during the marriage). My wife never works, never had worked, dosen't want to work, she's became complacent (more/less). There are multiple other reasons why I'm trying to divorce her, but the work issue is one of them.
She has a Master's in Information Technology along with maybe 2 BS degrees. She acquired this degree 7 - 8 years ago.
Here's the issue, I make around 145,000 a year including rental property income.
I've called several attorneys. It seems in terms of the division of assets, I can take the equity in both properties and split it in half, then give her that equity in a HELOC. My monthly payment for my mortgage may go up by a few hundred dollars, but I can manage. Then the assets are done. Then here comes Alimony, based on dealing with attorneys one said half of the marriage at roughly 25% my salary (so roughly 36K a year for 6 years :mad:). Two other attorneys came up with a reasonable figure of 3-5 years of 2,500 or so a month. Then on top of the there is child support, if we look at a 50/50 split it seems I'll owe her 1,000 a month. In all the whole thing sounds like a bunch of bullshit. I would end up giving her around 80K lump sum of money along with around 3K (maybe 4K) a month for 3 years, then 1K a month for the rest of 7 years. I pretty much would not even have the ability to pay my mortgage along with taking care of the basic necessities.
She would more/less have around 100K of salary (just from me) during the first year of divorce. Then still end up with a decent 36 - 40K of my salary for quite a while (3years or so). It would tapper off do a low 12K a year after alimony.
I'm thinking to myself if someone gave me just 60K and told me to go away and vanish, I could take that 60K and turn it into at least a 100K a year job/business within about a year. So my questions are, FOR ME, what are my legal options for trying to deal with this situation. In terms of alimony I would argue something along the lines that she has a college degree (same exact University, degree type and concentration as me). I've talked a bit to her about divorce and indicated that she needs to get a job. She's very resistant in getting a job, saying "I will not do anything until after the divorce is finalized"....
