Lawyers are people. They're not infalliable. Ask them if they've ever run across a case where someone your age, with your marriage length and amount of time out of work, has EVER been dismissed by the court with a scant amount of alimony and told to get a job. I'll bet they're only telling you what the "norm" is. And the norm may likely be a 30 to 40 yo woman who has been out of work 4 or 5 years and married about as long. Alimony isn't set in stone. It's up to the judge.
