[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much did you get in alimony and child support?[/quote]

I did not get any alimony. I did not ask for any. I was hoping to remarry (and I did) and figured alimony would not last very long if I found a new partner. Child support was very generous. My ex-husband was and is a very good person, even though he was a workaholic. He said throughout the divorce process that the most important thing was to keep the children's best interests in mind, to try to minimize the inevitable disruptions to their lives. We both realized that if the kids and I could afford to continue living nearby (instead of me having to move a lot farther out of town to afford a place to live), then it would be much easier for the kids to see him whenever the mood or opportunity arose. So child support was generous enough to allow us to live nearby, and that really did work out great for all. I don't think I need to get into an exact number, but it was a generous percentage of his income. It was above mandated guidelines, since guidelines didn't really cover his salary range. But again, in part this was also because there was no alimony.[/quote]
