I am in desperate need of finding a 'case law' so that the "payer - husband" does not have to pay alimony b/c of a previous (extreme violence) incident that the wife committed.
The wife & husband has agreed on the settlement. But the judge feels the wife is getting the short end of the stick and wants husband to pay alimony as well. Which is true, wife is getting less $ (20+ year marriage). BUT the wife did commit a violent crime against the husband (prosecuted/guilty) - which is why she accepted no alimony. But the judge won't accept the 'no alimony' part.
thank you in advance.
