What is the name of your state?
New Jersey
My situation is as follows:
We're getting divorced. She's taking custody of the child and moving to her parents' place in Puerto Rico.
We've sort of hashed out visitation and all, and I obviously will pay child support.
My question: What's she entitled to in terms of alimony? What's reasonable? She's basically going to be living in a similar situation as she is here (same size house, etc, but with her parents there helping with the baby). She decided to leave her job for child rearing while we were married, and I went along with it. She says she won't be working until the baby is 3 years old. He just turned 1.
But, she's obviously not paying rent, not worrying about daycare, etc.
Does any of that even factor into this? What's reasonable for her to ask for, if anything?
I've done some searching through the threads on this board, and what few bits of info I've gleaned are from other states.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
