Re: Alomony
Your attorney knows your case best. Information that would be offered by well-meaning strangers should not be relied upon. However, if he is offering 15 years support, that tells me that he knows permanent is a likely decision. The amount depends on your need and his ability to pay.
Re: Alomony
Listen to the counsel of your counsel who best knows your situation and the legal options and probable outcomes in your local jurisdiction. Remember that even if the court does not award lifetime alimony, it is likely to award alimony for a fixed period such as 15 years or until the occurrence of some event such as remarriage, etc.
