rajcs25 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 My Wife is playing lots of games with me under malefic influence of her parents and her Brother We live in NJ and are married from little over a Year I dont want to write whole bunch of issues here on how she insults and disrespects me, but since i am seeking legal advice, i want to write issues which matter here To make things worse she is 3 months pregnant with my child. She has not contributed any money and is forcing me since we got married to bear all the expenses, my expense, her expense, home expense, every single thing She is making a very good amount of money and sending all money to her parents I have had enough of her atrocities and need to tell her that she has to stop this behavior and have to ask her to go for counseling. If she refuses and tells 'Either my way or no way' and if she leaves me and files for divorce, than i have following questions 1) Do i still have to pay child support if child is born after we got seperated? 2) Do i have to pay alimony if she is making good amount of money?
GorillaTheater Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 You're going to want to talk to a lawyer licensed in New Jersey and practices family law, but the answer to #1 will almost certainly be "yes". I don't have a clue as to #2, as there are likely a number of factors to be taken into account such as the length of the marriage, any wage disparity, and so forth. It would be a mistake to rely on anyone's opinion here as you weigh your legal options.
whatintheworld Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Don't try to make the child pay for your failed relationship. Don't even think about trying to not pay child support. It's your child. You want to provide for the child.
GuyInLimbo Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 It's your kid, so of course you'll prob have to pay. However, if her income is higher than yours, SHE may be the one who has to pay any alimony/child support. However, since you've barely been married a year, I don't know why either one would go for that. Did you not see these problems a year and a half ago before you walked down the aisle? 1
Author rajcs25 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 She is under malefic influence of her parents and her brother and is behaving like this to manipulate me. Of course she did not do anything like this before marriage. My income is higher than hers. But she still earns a good amount of money. Do i have to still pay her alimony? Also if she walks away from a relationship and there is no abuse from my side which can be proven, do i still have to pay alimony? It's your kid, so of course you'll prob have to pay.

LisaLee Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 That is your kid, so yes, more than likely you will have to pay child support. I have seen and heard where if you get joint custody and the time for the child is 50/50 then no child support is awarded to either parties. If she makes fairly good money than the child support amount may be less (compared to someone like a SAHM) but you would still have the obligation. As for alimony it depends on your state but more often than not most courts want to see at least 10 years of marriage. The law has funny nuances, so only a lawyer would be able to answer your question definitively.
