If I file for divorce will I need to pay spousal support/alimony?
Q: I’ve been married to my wife for 16 years. She was a stay at home mom for most of our 
marriage. If I file for divorce will I need to pay spousal support/alimony for her? If so, for how long?
A: It is highly possible that wife may be awarded support/alimony for some period of time. She would have to prove that she is dependent upon husband for support. The time of the award would not exceed 8 years, which is half of the time the parties were married.

Q: How is child support calculated?
A: Delaware utilizes a predefined formula to calculate child support called the Melson Formula. Both the mother’s and father’s income as well as certain deductions (although not all) are taken into consideration in the formula. Once all entries are completed, the formula calculates a support obligation. The formula along with instructions can be found on the Family Court website.
