[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know the answer to the alimony question.

But regardless, I think you should divorce this guy! He doesn’t have a job, he doesn’t spend time with his son, he has a drinking and smoking addiction, and he smells!

I’d rather pay alimony and be rid of him.

My guess is you’d only have to pay alimony for a few years if they but I don’t know. Child support is the bigger issue. [/quote]

He would be entitled to both child support and alimony if he has 50% custody which most parents want. You are also probably going to have to sell the house and split the proceeds unless you can buy him out somehow or he agrees to let you keep it otherwise.

You probably didn't mean to give me a chuckle, but you did - thank you. :) I don't think I'd have to worry about child support.  I honestly can't see any judge saying that he's entitled to child support.  I make all the money, provide for all of his needs, take him to all his play dates, am at every sports practice/game, go to every school function, take him to friends' parties, etc - and I literally do it all ALONE.  So I'm less worried about that than I am having to pay for his life after divorce; though you have a point about paying to be rid of him.  I forgot that another point is that he has these health issues and it's my job that supplies the health insurance.  So I imagine that might be another thing I might have to supplement in some way post-divorce.[/quote][/quote]
