There are alimony guidelines used that can vary from state to state, with regard to calculating spousal support. One of the biggest factors a judge will take into account when making that determinaion is the disparity of income between the parties. Say, for example, the wife has been a stay at home mom for ten years or more while the husband has been the primary breadwinner. It would be obvious that the husband should more than likely be ordered to pay the wife some alimony or support during the transition period in her life of starting a new household. The guidelines will also most likely take into account her income producing capabilities as well, the ages of children, if any, and debt to income ratio of the parties.
