What is the name of your state? CT
After 23 years, my wife and I are ending our marriage. I 'm looking for advice on a fair settlement. Here are my fianancial specifics:
I make $90K a year, she makes $35K
My 401K is at $170K, her's is at $13K
I'm 52, and if I were to retire at 55, my pension would be $2K per month
Our house is worth $350K, with a morgage balance of $199K
We have 3 kids, ages 16, 19, 21....two of which are currently in college.
I'm giving her the house and just about half my pension.
I will be paying all the college bills for the kids.
I will be paying approx. $189 per week child support for the next two years.
I'm getting an inheritance of approximately $140K from the sale of my deceased father's house. Of this $140K, I'm paying off some debt's my wife and I have. The left-over of approx. $$70K will be split 80/20.
My questions are on a fair alimony and pension division.
1. Seeing how she is getting the house, what would be a reasonable alimony payment, and for how long?
2. Is she entitled to half of my pension? If not, what is she entitled to?
Thank you!
Regards,
Tom
