Why aren't you working?
In many states, even with a large difference in income, if a person won't work when they are qualified, it will at least reduce, if not eliminate alimony.
RN's in the hospital I work at earn $57K to start, and $112K after 10 years....with OT available everyday if desired. I would strongly argue your earning potential if I were him.

Are you still licensed?
If not, find out what it will take for you to get licensed.
You will of course request (and most likely get) spousal support until you can regain your professional license to work. You could also look into some refresher training even if you ARE still licensed to make you more marketable and ask that he support you doing that. I would not expect alimony for more than 5 years at any rate, and given that you DO have a marketable degree a judge will expect that you come to court with a plan OTHER THAN alimony to support yourself long-term.

Oh, I'm not upset at all. As for part time being "all you can work," the courts will "impute" your income to full time for alimony calculations, whether you work full time or not. Or, if your RN license is not current, you may need to take care of that also.
It will help him greatly that his father is an attorney.
You will need one also, but another poster has informed you what to expect in court. Good luck.

I don't think you understand the terms "earning potential" and "impute."
Also, alimony laws differ greatly from state to state. For example in some, 10 years of marriage can result in lifetime alimony. In others there is a 3 year cap period, regardless of the length of marriage.
What does your attorney say?
