My wife is divorcing me and she wants me to pay her alimony. My retirement is $3200 a month. Her pay is $2700 a month. We have outstanding debt of $48000. We have an upside down mortgage and can not sell our home. Do I have to pay her alimony and if so how much? What about the debt. The debt was accumlated during the marrage. There is 36000 in debt in my name, and 12000 in her name. There is no sole owner of this debt. We both made it.
