How much financial support is enough for a former spouse or a parent who cares for children at home?
Financial support for a former spouse, called alimony, is dependent upon the needs of the person seeking support and the ability of the other spouse to pay. Child support is determined by a formula calculated according to the Child Support Guidelines. Your attorney will help you to estimate how much support you may be entitled to, or may have to pay, after (s)he has reviewed both parties’ financial statements and other financial information.
