17 Answers We have been married 33 years. He is employed with an annual salary of $70,000 plus dividends of about $20,000.00 I have not worked for any one however I have worked at my own business with a near negative income for several years. I never was able to devote full time energy because I took care of the 2 kids and house. I am 59 with knee replacements needed, a terrible job market too. How much alimony might I expect. We have little debt, own our cars and only have a mortgage but then the house will be sold for about $450.000.00. |

| Will alimony be denied if I have $350,000.00 in the bank after the divorse? Married 33 years, 2 great grown kids, stay at home mom. I have a degree but have not used it and with this economy I have little or no chance of finding employment. I have not worked for anyone for about 32 years. We will sell the house as I can not afford to keep it. My assets will amount to about $350.00 to $400,000.00. | ||||

| As I said there is no alimony calculator in Georgia.There is no legal requirement that alimony may or may not be awarded. I will repeat the code: Georgia Annotated Statutes: 19-6-5. (a) The finder of fact may grant permanent alimony to either party,either from the corpus of the estate or otherwise. The following shall be considered in determining the amount of alimony, if any, to be awarded: (1) The standard of living established during the marriage; (2) The duration of the marriage; (3) The age and the physical and emotional condition of both Parties; (4) The financial resources of each party; (5) Where applicable, the time necessary for either party to Acquire sufficient education or training to enable him to find Appropriate employment; (6) The contribution of each party to the marriage, including, but not limited to, services rendered in homemaking, child care,education, and career building of the other party; (7) The condition of the parties, including the separate estate,earning capacity, and fixed liabilities of the parties; and (8) Such other relevant factors as the court deems equitable and proper. The judge will have the final word and no one can predict what he will decide. | ||||

| The trial court judge receives great discretion when converting Georgia marital property into separate Georgia divorce property. Georgia is an equitable distribution state. This means that with regard to Georgia divorce assets, anything the spouses brought into a marriage usually will not be included in Georgia divorce assets or Georgia divorce property. The only property that comes into the court's distribution is that which is legally classified as property of the marriage subject to Georgia case law. Non-marital or separate property is property acquired by inheritance or a gift from someone outside the marriage while the parties are married. | ||||

| I've merged all your threads since they are all related to your divorce. It helps us help you when all the info is in one place. Please use the Answer options to add follow-up to this thread. As to the question of the inheritance, he voluntarily agreed to use the inheritance as you did. I doubt if a court would separate it in the divorce. | ||||

| with this economy I have little or no chance of finding employment That's not true at all. You have an excellent command of the English language and would probably do well working from home proofreading and editing for pay other people's papers, stories, articles, and even books to be published. This isn't the thread to discuss that. Maybe open one on the Writing board? | ||||

| You are told "Get a GOOD attorney for divosre!" How is this done? How can any one know what attorney to use in a divorce case. We are all told "get a good attorney". There are 7 attorneys in my home town. But which one will be right for me? Are there questions that I might ask to determine this very important trait? Thanks! We have assets of $900,000.00 and a 33 year old marriage. | ||||
