if given monthly, a lump sum value is set and she'd get the $1000/month until this lump value is reached.

I've got a horror story for you. A guy in my department got a divorce about five years ago. His wife never worked so he got saddled with maintenance. Through their lawyers they worked out a lump sum value and he paid it. A year later she tipped over dead. They never had kids so the money went to her family.
