Hi Thomas, Every divorce is different and what your wife is doing to you is unfair. She's younger and hasn't been out of the workforce for that long. I believe someone like her still deserves some alimony for a few years to start over but it's not the same as many women I know who left the workforce for decades and were married for decades are are now encountering problems re-entering the workforce not only because they left their careers so long ago but because of their age. Your wife is trying to take advantage of the situation it sounds like.
