Re: Support

Depending upon your income, her earning ability, child care responsibility and other factors, with a 10 year marriage, you may very well be on the hook for alimony. There are other factors to consider as well, including her age, educational background, etc. If you would like to further discuss this issue, please contact Debbie at 856=795-6700 to schedule a consultation.

Your wife is expected to earn up to her capacity and her earning capacity will be attributed to her whether she chooses to earn as much as she can or not.
