Spousal Support Settlement
|
Wife was awarded 5 years of alimony. I've been paying $600 a month for 2 years as on Sep 1. I have 3 years remaining. Ex-wife posed the idea to her lawyer for a lump sum settlement of $6000 and wave spousal support for the next 3 years, which would equal $21,600.
This settlement idea comes after I found out she has been living with someone she plans on marrying soon and has had a child with him. I've hired an attorney to try to get the alimony reduced or dropped all together. She nows I have an attorney, so that is where this is coming from.
What do y'all think? Take it or pay $2500 retainer fee and fight to get it dropped all together? I would be paying $600 a month until we went to court.
