There is no way anyone can really answer your question. If it was this way. there wouldn't be a ton of family law attorneys running around. Since 99% of divorce cases settle, you will pay how much you want to pay in terms of alimony. With regard to child support, that is a little easier to figure out once we determine exactly how much your wife makes. Call me at 732/773/2768 to discuss further.

NJ is an equitable distribution state; meaning, the scales are balanced depending on the needs of each spouse.
