Q: 8 years married, how much alimony will i be in title to in my divorce from my husband? We have two kids together as well
We have two kids together, which are 3 and 10 how much child support would i get for my kids and how does the laws fit in for a unemployed mother?
A:
There is no formula to determine alimony (spousal support). If the two spouses cannot agree on an amount and duration, then the court will review the income, expenses, debts, employability of someone who is unemployed, and total financial situation, and determine the amount and for how many years spousal support would be paid. For an 8 year marriage, a range of 2 to 4 years might be typical for spousal support payments, but it could be more, less, or none. Ohio uses a worksheet calculation to determine child support payments, based on incomes, number of children, health insurance, and other factors. Here is a link to the Ohio worksheet calculation:
