Re: Does my wife deserve spousal support?
|
She'll probably get a minimum of short term support. You're also not debt free - assets and debts accumulated during the marriage are usually split during divorce. The step daughter, while its admirable for you to continue supporting her, shouldn't be your responsibility. At the very least make sure her mother and father are taking care of their responsibilities to her BEFORE you start handing out $$.
If your wife has the ability to work, she should get a job and support herself, and her spending habits. Unfortunately however, unless you have a very good attorney, you're likely to end up paying more than you want to (or should).
