Child Support is based on both parties income. Is the Wife is not working income may be imputed to her. See an attorney.
You failed to state how long you were married which has a lot to do with your question. However assuming a 10 to 15 year marriage you're looking at both child support and alimony.
When you do go through a divorce you should certainly hire what's known as a vocational expert to determine her income propensity for imputation purposes. You will need to consult an attorney about this. Good luck!
Child support is based upon yours and her income, if she is purposely not working the court will impute income to her.
