Child support & Alimony

Alimony is based on income. If you both have the same income then neither one of you would be entitled to income, but you may have to pay child support if your child is living primarily with your Husband. Alimony is not gender based.

As a woman, can my husband get alimony from me if we have the same income? My 17 year old would be living with him and I would like to know if I would be responsible for paying child support until she was 18, or until she finishes her senior year in high school.
