Q. When I got married, I was a schoolteacher. When our first of three children were born, my husband convinced me to stay home and be a caretaker. Ten years later - divorce city!

We agreed on child support. He didn’t stand in the way when I moved to California with the kids to earn a master’s degree. My husband refused to pay indefinite alimony, saying he wanted to see a light at the end of the tunnel. We agreed he’d pay alimony for 10 years no matter what.
