Default Re: Im Getting Divorced... Can Anyone Help

The one thing in your favor is you haven't been married very long. This should help with alimony (or maintenance as it is now called). On the other hand...

You make a reasonable income and have a child. She is certainly entitled to child support based on a percentage of your income. Btw- No offense, but revealing your income on an internet forum is very dumb and could be used against you.

Bottom line: Spare no expense on retaining a good divorce attorney. The party with the best attorney will come out ahead. I suspect you'll have to pay maintenance for a short period. And of course, child support. As for your other assets, if you brought the majority into the marriage, I don't think she will be entitled to a 50/50 split due to the short amount of time you've been married. I've been there! Good luck!
