SpousalSupport

Junior Member
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AZ

I've been married 10 years and filed for a divorce. Wife has worked part time throughout the entire marriage and stayed at home to raise our three 3 kids. I've worked the whole time during the marriage.

Wife works 25 hours a week. One child is still at home, goes to preschool a couple time a week and will start kindergarten next year.

I gross $5000 a month, she grosses $1000 and we both agree on joint custody.

My question is does it seem likely I will have to pay spousal support? She doesn't seem to want to work full time. I looked into it and the youngest would be in preschool an extra 2 hours each day if she worked full time.

You would likely be facing some short term spousal support as well as child support.
