Current spousal support is based upon current income of both parties. You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator to assist you in determining the amounts.

Temporary Spousal Support will be based on your husband's current income. Final Orders for Spousal Support will be based on the standard of living that the parties were accustomed to during the marriage (to the extent possible after there are two separate households to support).

Spousal support is based on each party's current income. The length of the marriage and several other factors go into the equation also. Good luck.

The amount of alimony is based on his earnings during marriage and other factors. If he earned nothing during marriage and now works it would be hard to get alimony. However it is up to a judge how much and for how long.
