Hi Shukat,


PA is a commonwealth state so everything pretty much is split in half, even the pensions.

I don't have much time to write right now but I am in PA and going thru divorce. Penn is equitable distribution. It totally sucks. My alimony was going to be about 200-300 a month for about 2-3 years. We were married 14 years. I heard you can plan on about 1 year of support for every 3 years or so of marriage. I forgo that and am taking a lump sum up front so I can stay in my house before I get enough $ to buy him out of our house. There is a lot of flexibility and a lot of factors.


Google pa alimony and there are charts and tables to plug in your info.


Hope this helps.


Good luck.
