[quote]She refuses to have kids? At 57 it's not likely she is ABLE to have kids.
That said it's doubtful that alimony would even be considered due to the length of marriage. (Lucky for him the 15 years they lived together won't count) Not being able to work because the divorce is taking a toll on her isn't likely to matter unless she is considered disabled It's doubtful she will be considered disabled for that reason. if that were the case everyone would claim their divorce disabled them.

I don't know about the time before marriage not being taken into consideration. It depends on the judge and whether the law specifically prohibits it. I personally know of a couple together 10+ yrs, married for 3, and she was awarded $1k a month for life. The only way he managed to stop this supposedly unmodifiable alimony is by filing a motion based on a significant change in her circumstances, and having it heard in front of a different judge.
I've got to ask: Who in their right mind marries a 54yr old woman and thinks she has a choice about having kids?? Of all the excuses he could possibly use to trade in the old wife for a young chippy, he's using *that* one?? ROFLMAO... no imagination. No imagination at all.
