Not sure what Massachussets laws are, but if it were in NC: Child support is based on your income, her income, health insurance costs, childcare costs basically. It’s a formula. There is a worksheet on the home site here. If you have savings before you got married, and ADDED to it during your marriage, I BELIEVE she would be able to claim 1/2 of what was added during the marriage. Any asset aquired during the marriage is considered in Equitable Distribution. Assets are money, property, possessions. If she is a dependent spouse (ie: not working and dependent on you) she would have a claim for alimony. ---

Dear mlotfi: Greetings. I do not practice in Massachussets, so you will have to ask an attorney in the state where you live. Divorce laws are widely different from state to state. Good luck. Janet L.
