Anyone out there been through the Mediation process before that can give me any kind of advice. What happened, are you satisfied and were you pressured to give up things that you should not have? In specific, I need to know what is a fair amount of time to expect to receive alimony since we have been married 22 years and my husband is the main provider. I do have several jobs and really try to earn as much as I can and still take care of the 3 kids and their needs. I strongly feel that I should get alimony for 20 years because that is close to the amount of time we were married and financially I need it. That will get me to social security, if it still exsists. My lawyer is very disapointing to me when he says that I should be happy with 10 years and that the alimony is to rehabilatate me to get a supporting job. Is that true? This just makes me feel victimized all over again since my husband always controlled the finances. So is this what I should expect and accept?
