[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really does depend on the state.  Many states, it's just a formula.  He makes x, she makes x and child needs x and parents each contribute x depending on income.

She should look for a job now.  She has no idea how long its going to take her to get a job.  She will probably move out at some point during the separation, and in some states, the separation period can't even begin until you're living apart.  Does she plan to keep the house?

When she does get a job, he can just go and ask for the support numbers to be changed to reflect her income.  It is really futile at this point.

And we all "deserve" the maximum amount of support.[/quote]

+1. And from his perspective, he has been supporting her for a number of years already.[/quote]

What kind of crap is this? You could easily rephrase that to read "and from her perspective she's been raising his kids for a number of years already." Why do people seem to think that men are "owed" someone raising their children and then act like the mom has been sitting on her ass "being supported." Presumably, this was a joint decision the couple made, but now that the marriage is tanking he's been "supporting her." BS.
Signed, a WOHM but this is crap. [/quote]

It's 2017. Imagine your H was a SAHD and you were paying him alimony. Could you even imagine a grown man/woman getting money for just being married to you. It's bull. Get a job, support yourself. Child support is a different story.

Alimony needs to go away. [/quote]

It won't go away and shouldn't.  Especially when one cheats and leaves the family.  My friend will get alimony for life or until she gets married again. She's on a disability and he didn't see that one coming. He also has to keep a life insurance policy on himself.  And she's the owner of the policy so he can never cancel it.[/quote]
