Thank you for the reply. Yes we are doing a true 50/50 split with the kids. I'll have to look into the calculator tonight. As far as spousal support. She is currently moving into her new boyfriends house. So not quite sure how that would work.

I'm getting a divorce and papers will be filled next month. We are doing a split custody of the kids. We will both have them the same amount of time. She has been a stay at home mom for the last 5 years but has been working for the last 6 months. I do make a lot more than she does. We have 2 kids and she said that if I say I will pay child support she will sign off for no spousal support. She wants $500 a month. I'm not a dead beat dad and want to take care of my kids. But I don't think I should have to pay child support for the next 13 years. What I was wondering is if I could pay spousal support of $500 for the next few years and not do child support. Or would the courts make me pay both. My ex is kind of threatening me if I don't go with the child support that the court will make me pay both.
