STBXW informed me last month that she is not in love with me anymore. She wants to do a legal separation so she can keep my insurance. I just want to be done and file for divorce. She says it will cost me more because I would need to pay for her health insurance on top of Alimony. We both agree to 50/50 of children (age 18/14). She also claims she can work so I would pay more, plenty of jobs she could do. Would a judge see through this?

Should I just role the dice and file? She says we would go to court and I will end up paying more.

Also, what can I expect to pay? Married 20 years, she has not worked in 20 years. What have you guys ended up paying in Alimony for wife’s that do not work and claim they cannot )Percentage of pay)?

Thanks all, this is fresh and a little freaked out.
