Permanent alimony in NJ

[gandalf]

What is the name of your state?NJ
My ex-wife is trying to get permanent alimony from me. She already got the house, 1/2 my pension, and I have huge back-taxes to the government, plus a huge child support payment. Are there any standards regarding award of permanent alimony? What can I expect from the judge [this is going to trial].

It all really depends on the exact situation - how long married, her ability to earn, her age & potential for retraining, your income, and myriad other things. Noone can tell you how a judge would rule.
