That's a decision for the judge. If he gets custody, any alimony you get would increase your child support obligation.

There isn't a formula in my state. It's up to the judge's discretion. He considers your lifestyle and what the salaries actually are. If you make minimum wage and your husband made 2.5 times that, you may get little or no alimony. However, if you make $50,000 and he makes $150,000, you may get an alimony settlement, which sometimes includes tuition for you to go to school, etc. The judge does not want the children's lifestyle to have to change tremendously. You need to talk to a family attorney in your state to get a real idea.

Each of the lawyers present their calculations to the judge and the judge uses his discretion when he makes the alimony order.
