What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
I have been married seven and a half years to a woman who has never really worked a day in her life. When we got together, she had zero assets, zero income, and a few grand in debt. I had a job, and $600k in assets. She has started an affair with another man and will be divorcing me soon.
We have two kids.
I offered mediation to save money on the divorce and she told me what her expectations were.
She wants the house ($400k in equity), but wants me to pay the mortgage ($3k/mo), She also wants her new car, but wants me to pay the lease ($900/mo)
She also wants half of what I made this year (like $350k) every year for the next dozen years. (till the kids are 18).
On top of that she wants child support (which i think is like $2k/mo)
So her "going in" position is she wants $200k up front and around $20k/mo for 12 years.... basically she wants THREE MILLION DOLLARS?!?!?
Is she nuts?
Could a court really order such alimony?
I was thinking this:
we sell the house, she gets half of the proceeds.
she pays for her own car lease, or we return it and get it off the books.
i get half the contents of the house.
i pay $2k/mo in child support
i pay her $10k/mo for three or four years.
Am I nuts?
Help!
