We're from AZ and my son who has been married for 2 years is getting a divorce, she wants support. She works 30 hours a week and wants to go back to school. They are both 24 yrs old. How much support will she need or get?

...and the ability to work,. she will PROBABLY get no spousal support.

Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...

Why would he pay $33k in a car lease (which is a waste of money anyway), when he will not have to pay her ANY support at all? Spousal support is usually only awarded in long term marriages... certainly not a marriage that is only 24 months old.
I would tell him not to pay her a thing. And if her name is on that car, he better get it removed prior to the divorce.

They have a house and he'll live in it, pay all the bills until they can sell. (when the market is better) She'll move back home with her family. He does make good money, she only make $13 hrs. and like I said want to go back to ASU.

He wants out and feels bad for her. He still cares for her but doesn't really love her anymore. They have been together for almost 7 yrs. since high school. He's 1st love. Lucky no children.

That's all fine and good... but why does he think he needs to pay her SS? I don't get it. The little amount of assets they DO have can just be divided evenly. He will have to buy her out of the house (which can't have very much equity anyway) and if he has another vehicle, then give the leased car back to the dealership and split the penalties.
Their marriage is such a short term one that I don't see where he thinks he "owes" her anything... unless he just wants to pay it out of the goodness of his heart or to get rid of her.

Thats what I said, but her mother is coming into it. She was divorced and said he'll need to pay because of the way they lived and they also want him to pay for the schooling
