Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear you are going through this stressful time. In a situation like the one you describe the amount of alimony you will have to pay is based on several factors. What is the income of each party? What was the standard of living during the marriage? Is either party underemployed or deliberately unemployed? Is either party living beyond their means? What is the payor’s ability to pay? All of these aspects, and more, can have a bearing on giving you a definitive answer. To help you understand your rights and options, I strongly urge you to schedule an attorney consultation.

I've been married 10 years and I have a house that inherited from my dad.

Assets that you inherit, that are not marital assets, are not subject to equitable distribution, meaning those assets are not subject to division in a divorce.  The asset would have to be kept in your own name and never commingled with marital assets.  Good Luck.

You can retain a lawyer anywhere in NJ presently since most lawyers are meeting with their clients through Zoom teleconference technology and most courts are still proceeding through zoom for court proceedings as well. But, if you are more comfortable working with a local lawyer, then look for divorce lawyers in your county. If there are any complications to your matter, then your google search should be for "Certified Matrimonial Trial Lawyers by the New Jersey Supreme Court", since only 2% of all lawyers in the state of NJ have met the qualifications for 'certificaiton" by the court system.
