In my case she has worked 2 days/week for 20 years because we could afford to have her work less. If she worked full time she would make about 15% less than I do. I have talked to 2 lawyers and they both said that a judge would expect her to work full time most likely when it comes to calculating support, given the age of our kids (youngest is 11 in 2 weeks). The kids aren't babies anymore that need a mom at home (has been nice however).

She sees it differently - she wants to work less and have me pay her more so she can have her free time, which she uses to work out, shop, and talk to OM for hours a day!
