Under the new maintenance law, we can tell what type of payment you will be looking at based upon the length of marriage and the parties' income.

Florida does not use a formula, it is up to the Judge's discretion.

Spousal support is negotiable. The courts take into account the number of years of marriage the occupations of both spouses. My suggestion is that you consider Mediation. The mediator will make some suggestions with specific amounts with regard to the spousal support. Mediation is fast effective and affordable. Good luck.

There are no formulas for alimony calculation in Maryland, that are part of our laws.

There is a formula for computing child support. You can find a child support guideline on line for your location. After that it is easier to figure out how much you might be ordered to pay in alimony.

Contact an attorney and to determine what the likely outcomes would be both in areas of child support, spousal support, and property division. In Michigan both spousal and child support are generally determined on a formula basis which most practitioners have access to. Spousal support is very much fact driven and therefore I would suggest you seek to engage an attorney and explain all of the circumstances so that you can get a reasonably decent estimate of what the outcome would be.
