I now know that our divorce is going to happen now or later. Wife states she does not have feelings for me any longer. My questions

What salary does the judge go by when determining child support and or allamony? This year+expected, or last years W2?

If I have our child 2 to 3 days per week, is it split custody with no support?

thanks

KC,
Wife stating she does not have feelings for you does not have to mean anything, other than she is fogged out and justifying infidelity. You don't have to give up based on that statement alone. Tell us more about your situation.
Regards and peace.

Ryan - do you not have your own attorney?

Whether someone here knows the answers or not, don't go into this without your own attorney.

Have been worried about the infidelity, but have done quite a bit of research and following, and am 99% sure that is not the case.
2 boys 14 & 8, I did not hold up my end of the relationship as far as her emotional needs go. I have provided, been good to her and kids, never cheat, not abusive etc. When she tells me she needs to find out if she can get her feelings back, I can truly understand. We have been not been right for about a year. I don't want the divorce, but at this point she does not respond to "If we don't give it every possible chance we are cheating everyone involved" She has been seeing a counselor, as have been to a different counselor together. Hers tells her to go with her gut and feelings. Ours tells us that we are not that far gone. I have been a mess the last few weeks, crying every 15 minutes. Can't eat, can't sleep. I tried to give her what she wants "time and space". I decided to move next door to my mother's home. I could not take it and began begging for us to exhaust all options. She says she doesn't feel. as we have the same conversation every time we speak, she decided to move to a house that her best friend has that is free. My heart tells me she is not cming back.

Google child support calculator and spousal support calculator. You plug in the numbers and get a rough idea. Make sure you use your states calculator.

I would try to work it out but if you can't there is the info.

They use the same software the courts use to decide this.

Also length of marriage is taken into consideration for spousal support.
