You'll need more details.

1. How long have you been married?
2. What is your income?
3. What is wife's earning potential (does she have any marketable skills, education, certifications, etc)?

Guidelines are here:

We have been married 9 years and she has no skills for a job. I make about 40,000.

Odds are decent that you'll be paying some alimony. Typically, the guideline is that alimony is considered in 10 year marriages. By the time your divorce is finalized, you'll probably be close to or at the 10 year line.

Consult an attorney.
