L said his partner deals more in family law, and he consulted with him about the spousal-support issue, asking him specifically what the courts seem to be awarding these days. He said his partner is guessing I'd be awarded only *$500 a month* in spousal support??? But, again, they acknowledge it's alllll "a crap shoot."
My guess is that his partner isn't aware that your husband will not be continuing the pay the mortgage as part of that ^^^. He may be thinking of a "spousal stipend" sort of thing, alimony beyond the CS and the basic household living expenses?
