I have a pension that pays about 3k a month. With other income from acting residuals and minor jobs I bring in an additional 1k or so a month. I live in New York City, which is expensive. My wife filed for divorce (she's in NJ) and she want's half my pension. I can't live on that small amount of money. Is she only allowed to take half of my income that is above the amount I need for a modest cost of living, or can she take half of everything regardless of what I need to live on?
