Most states have pretty clear rules on how spousal support and child support work, as some people have said to the OP you can look up these calculators.
Talk to at least 3 lawyers. There are lawyers who will be more proactive in trying to find an agreement, others who will be more aggressive to get it done fast, etc. There are a couple of lawyers who are well established for having the "magic calculator" on what terms will be. If you can talk to one of them you'll get a great estimate for $300.
#1 rule is to be absolutely and totally honest with your lawyer. Whatever you hide will bite you in the ass, as it should. Put in YOUR work in the divorce process to give all the needed information, financial asset documents, etc.
Almost all good lawyers know all the tricks, which makes the process go faster.
It's very hard to prove a spouse is cheating. You basically need a p0rn video, texts or emails explicitly confirming the sex, etc.
If you have kids try and have the divorce result in you and your ex being in a place where you can co-parent the best possible.
This isn't actually true. It's just a stereotype.
