child support and spousal support
I dont work im in the middle of a disability lawsuit my husband grossed in 80.000 this yr makes over thirty dollors an hour how much woul he have to pay in child support. I have not worked in 7 years and have no means at this time to support the children in any way. My disability lawsuit will be in frot of a judge in another year if im lucky told it takes up to 18 months to see judge, I do have a lawyer because of denial. He says he will pay me 2,000 dollars a month and that is beign generous until the car is paid off then he told me he would lower the payments he gives me. He is also a union member and has a pension comming to him. We want to do this the easy way but i also need to know if i am getting screwed on the deal.We would like to make this as easy as possible with our children and not end up a big battle over money and what is fair to him and myself
Re: child support and spousal support
This is too complex a question to give a serious answer to within the structure available here.
I can say generally about child support, that is is calculated using a formula and table, and in some cases income in imputed to a party who is not working voluntarily. Disability would affect the voluntary part of this equation.
The length of the marriage as well as your (both of your) current incomes and prospects, and how debts and property were distributed would affect the length and amount of spousal maintenance that a court would set; the determination of spousal maintenance involves more discretion than setting child support.
You have expressed a noble sentiment in wanting a reasonable resolution. The challenge comes when to one side's idea of reasonable confronts the other side's idea of reasonable.
To get a complete answer to your questions, you need to get a lawyer to assist you with this, even if only to consult-review the facts of your situation and give you some estimated ranges of likely outcomes.
