Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Alimony How much/How Long

You are asking more than a simple question. You are

asking several questions, anyone of which requires a lot more information than you have supplied and so much time that answering your question can not be done without charge. Secondly, you need to hire an attorney. I will charge you a reasonable fee.

Call me if you like.

Re: Alimony How much/How Long

As noted by the other answer, more information is needed about your situation. You will both have to pay child support based on both incomes (including alimony) until the child is emancipated and given the child's age perhaps day care as well right now.

Alimony looks like a short period of time as the marriage is not too long but there are other factors to consider. The amount is set by considering all of the statutory factors and your current income as well as hers (it will be imputed if she makes no effort to work).

See an attorney as soon as possible for more detailed advice.

We have a number of lawyers here who could assist you. Please call for an appointment if you are interested.

Re: Alimony How much/How Long

Child support is generally 17% of your gross yearly income for one child.

Your situation is a bit more complicated than the general. I will need more details to answer to your specific situation.

With regard to alimony a wife can generally obtain income based on the time of your marriage (the longer the marriage the longer the alimony); her lack of income; and your income.

Is your wife going to work after you divorce?

Again I need more details.
