Legal Question in Family Law in California
Divorce/ Custody
My husband of four years and I are seperated, however not legaly. We have a three year old daughter who is living with me. I know I am entitled to Child support but for how much? Also when we got married I was an unemployed housewife. Am I also entitled to some form of spousal support? If so how much?

Re: Divorce/ Custody
18% of your husband's gross income is the child support figure up to a maximum of $800 a month. Alimony for a 4 year marriage is iffy. I would not expect more than a year's alimony.
Re: Divorce/ Custody
California law requires a look at your income, your husband's income and how much your expenses are. This is not something that can be calculated without a lot more information.
As to spousal support, that is also based upon the above information.
