More details to this question:
I'm going through a divorce. We have a 50/50 custody with our 7 year old child. Now she wants child support and spousal support because he's on disability. I make around $2600 a month. I only bring home clear $1900 a month. I paid $1300 dollars for rent and I paid $$400 for child care. I really don't have no more money. I'm scared that the support can they take a lot of money.

If your wife makes significantly less than you do, there will be spousal support to help equalize things for a few years while she gets back on her feet. The temporary support is determined by a computer calculation, it doesn't sound like it will be much given the circumstances, but it will try to equalize the incomes.
