Re: Wisconsin Spousal Support for her, who makes $50K

Two attorneys gave these free e-mail replies that suggest that the courts will want to "equalize income" and therefore I would be getting a good deal (?) paying her $500 for 15 years.:

Attorney 1) If you net $65,000 and she nets $40,000 with proper withholdings, and if you pay her $6,000 ($500 x 12), then you have $59,000 and she has $46,000, before the effect of you getting a deduction on, and her paying tax on, the $6,000; so your nets would be even further apart, fairly close to a 60/40 split. Please call me if you have more questions.

Attorney 2) What I can tell you is that while there is no actual formula for maintenance (spousal support) in a long term marriage such as yours, the court will frequently equalize the income and unless there is something to actually tie the end of maintenance to, it can be set for an indefinite length of time. Therefore, if you can reach a resolution between the two of you for less than that amount, I would take it and run.
