Support

[james_w_clayton]

I am fixing to go through a divorce and I heard Alabama had changed law on child suport & custody to 3 1/2 and 3 1/2 with each parent and there is no child support. Is this true

Good one!

No, that's not the new law, and it isn't even in effect yet. However, if you and your wife agree to 50/50 custody, and you both have the same amount of income, then it may be possible that no child support will be ordered.

Here's a link to Alabama's courts website:

And here's a link to an explanation of the proposed changes:
