to add to my post after reading it. I didn’t really ask my question… 
I wanted to ask what you think my amount of alimony would be. I am really worried about making ends meet after being on my own out there. thank you again. I am 48 years old. Again, I am disabled and will not work again. He didn’t have an affair but was an alcoholic/drug abuser/emotional(severe)abuser.
thank you.
Alimony is based on many factors; the needs and expenses of each party, the income of each party, the income earning capacity of each party, the financial resources of each party, the conduct of each party during the marriage. There is no formula I could look at to give you a number to expect for alimony. The court will generally try to give each party sufficient funds to met their expenses.

Hi, I am getting ready to deal with the issue of alimony in NC. My ex is the supporting spouse (louse) and makes around $100K. I am disabled (on SSDI) and receive about $1200 per month. I also receive $1000 per month child support but that will stop in 2 years when my child graduates from high school, so doesn’t that inflate my income right now? Thank you for your answer.
