Let me add for all of the smart answers I live in Alabama and have been married to my husband for 7 years. I work full time and pay most of the bills due to his addiction to pain pills. So before you jump there is the rest of the story. I simply wanted help not a web lawyer.LOL

This would depend upon the state in which you file for divorce, as well as your spouse's and/or your income.

The calculations are not as easy as a straight %.
If I were you I would look up child support calculators on the internet. You will need to know both he and your income and the rent each is paying and any other debt the person has to get a rough answer to your question.

In Indiana - 20% of his income (child support for one child) If he has a job. If he has very little, or he is collecting unemployment - $40/week. They go off of your W-2 from the previous year, so don't try to quit your job and get off easy, because you will only screw yourself!!
Indiana has no alimony
It will vary state to state, and the exact amount will be based on income.

The correct answer to your question is 0%.
The child may get a statutory percentage of the income of the non-custodial parent, but that's not what you asked.
And before you make any more smart remarks I suggest you ask EXACTLY what you need the answer to.

Depends on where you live first of all. Second, depends on how much he makes and if you contribute to the household or are a stay at home mom.
Some states it is 50/50 split excluding inherited property. Other states depends on who is "at fault". Check with a lawyer.

Depends on the state....like in NH, there is no alimony, so I had to get money in other ways from the divorce...
