Alimony and Child Support
My wife and I have just decided to get a divorce, irreconcilable differences of course. We have been married for 11 years, have 2 children, and she has not worked except for the last couple of years in which she has held various part time positions. I certainly understand and am willing to pay alimony and child support but I am having some difficulty in determining how much I should pay, at least until we can obtain attorneys to help with this. My wife of course is asking for 50% in alimony and another 25% for child support. Like I said, I am fully willing to pay but I don't want to overextend my offering either. Can you give me any advice as to what I should be paying at this point?
Workers rights
I am scheduled to open a store for my company. I am schduled to report on Monday. I have been promised this store since my family was relocated, by the company, out to California in January 2008. Yesterday I was told by District Manager that if I take this store ''I will kill my career''. After a 30 minute conversation I was told not to discuss our conversation with anyone else that it stays within this room. I have worked for the company for 4 years. I have been awarded several awards and recommendations. I have never been documented for anything in my career with this company. I now feel that if I go to this job that my DM will attempt to fire me. Does this now constitue a hostile work environment? Also, should I contact my Human Resource person about this?
