She also assumes that the payor of alimony is getting a 3% COL raise every year. Why would it be fair to pay a COL raise to the ex wife if the ex husband/payor is not getting 3% raise himself? What if the economy deflates, should her alimony go down then?

That's fixed easily enough Ray has it built into his decree that his ex-w receives the same amount of raise in CS and alimony that he receives in raises at work.
If he gets a 2% raise, their alimony and CS increased by 2.5% That seems fair and equitable to me.

Why would he pay more than his pay raise? That is fair to you? Weird...

Sorry, typo. He increases their CS/alimony by the same amount that his raise was.

Brauny--if you wanted her to work and earn her own way you should have told her a long time ago. If you want to divorce her now--now matter how self absorbed she may seem to you--you should give her enough to live
You might not get colas, but you could agree to increase her alimony as your income increases and leave it at that.

Right if her COLA increases thru work, then her alimony should GO DOWN the same % as her increase. Yup...sounds fair.

Either give her a cola or agree to increase it when his income increases--not the reverse. He should not have a disincentive to work. Remember he wants out.

Really, why not? She had a disincentive not to work.
