No. Laws vary from state to state as to how things are divided. Depending on the amount of money she made during the marriage as opposed to what he makes is also considered. If the wife worked outside of the home and her salary was comparable and there were both parties are claiming "no-fault" it is unlikely she would receive any maintenance payments; if she made more money than him, there is the possibility he could receive maintenance payments from her.
Child support is also based on what each parent makes and custody arrangements; if there is joint custody, there may not be any support ordered, but still that varies from state to state. Only way to know for sure what your rights and responsibilities are is to see a lawyer in your area that specializes in divorces.
Assets, like a house, if free and clear of any mortgage are usually divided up according to the judge; the wife might end up having to buy out the husband's share, or vice versa, depending on who is going to live in the house. If there is a large outstanding mortgage and a dispute over the house it could end up being that the Court would require that the house be sold and any profits or losses be divided between both parties.

No, it all depends on the court decision and what is best for the children, maintenence is generally a big yes. Keep in mind, that's meant to be for the Kids. Recently a study concluded that women will do anything they can to try and hold onto the house in order to keep some type of stability in the childrens life following the divorce, these women are being forced out of their homes due to overwhelming expenses that they were not prepared for with a single income. The best thing a woman can do according to the study is sell the home and split the proceeds according to the court allocation.

no matter if that is something your toddler needs to do and it ought to correctly be powerful for them, why do not you pay the service of facilities without delay 0.5 the quantity. If the mum is prepared to pay a million/2, then each and every man or woman wins. also, ask the youngster to participate in paying --better chores, grades, and so on. do not stop the youngster from starting to be because funds is an argument. in case you both lived at the same time, all of your funds ought to pass on your toddlers besides. it is not any longer happening your ex-spouse's procuring habit??? Then pass for it. do not wrestle about it....make it a set attempt in case you could. trust me, though, it is hard. We pay for each thing and function custody and function decreased toddler help, yet i choose the toddlers to do not forget that they arrive first. Our egos and excitement and who's incorrect or correct truly doesnt' remember.

Yes, but only if his ex-wife is in financial crisis. But he should pay for the upbringing of his child anyway.

Not usually- I would say the only way that could happen is if the wife has a sneaky attorney and the husband's attorney agrees to pay it.

No, not unless you want to. However, you will be required to pay reasonable costs towards child maintenance.

If that is part of the divorce settlement then he is expected to live up to those terms.

Not if you and your ex own your own property, if you do you may have to sell your property if you are joint owners so that you can both buy a property of your own. But i have never heard of that. Get some legal advice.
