| | | Do I have to pay?
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. |
