Q: I've been in a relationship for 20yrs with the exception of 2.7 yrs. X wants me to say that we broke up in 2016. Why?
We live in Cape Coral Florida. No common law. So what is his deal. Yes he has a lot of money. A lot!!!!
A: You said relationship, I assume you have been married to this person for the 20 years. The length of the marriage usually determines the amount of any alimony/spousal support....the longer you have been married, the more likely alimony will become a factor. The date of separation is also a key factor in calculating not only alimony but also child support, including arrears and value of marital assets and debts for equitable division purposes.
