We were married for 2 years. We do have 1 child 13 months. Have a house together I'd give her the house because she'd probably get our child anyways and I have no problem paying child support.

In Kansas, spousal maintenance (formerly known as alimony) is based on a party's financial need, and the other party's ability to pay. Not all cases require a spousal maintenance payment. The amount of spousal maintenance is normally based on a percentage of the differential in the two parties' incomes. You may also consider negotiating a trade of the house for a waiver of spousal maintenance, but there are tax implications in that situation.
