Answer: You did not indicate which state you are located in. In New York, child support will be determined by a complex formula taking into consideration the income of both parents.The catch is that although both incomes are taken into consideration, the non-residential parent has to pay his/her share to the residential parent. Spousal support will be determined based on your previous life style, and will not be forever, but long enough to give your spouse the ability to become gainfully employed and self supporting. The disposition of the house and its upkeep will depend on the court. If you are living in the greater NYC metropolitan area, please call me to discuss the possibility of mediating your divorce. It will be must faster, economical and less stressful than battling it out in court in the adversarial system.
