My spouse and I are discussing divorce after 16 years of marriage, and we have 2 children. I am the sole earner. For the past few years, I have had a primary job and a side business that raised our income by 3-4 times. The business has lost its steam and will end in the near future and I will end up doing only my primary job partly by my decision to reduce hours. How will this affect alimony?. I want to be fair in the division of assets and pay alimony and child support based on my primary job income. Is it advisable to close the business before we initiate the process?
