Either thru an attorney or on your own you have your Husband served with a divorce complaint and summons and automatic orders. The parties have to exchange financial information. You either come to an agreement as to residential custody and visitation or the court wil ldecide it at a trial. Child support is determined by the incomes of the parties. Alimony is determined by the partiees income the needs of the parties the length of the parties and a few other factors.
