The fact of a weekend trip is irrelevant to anything unless by being gone she isn't present at any court proceedings where decisions are made. The more important concern may be where are the children going to be while she is gone.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear you are going through this stressful time. In a situation like the one you describe the amount of alimony you will have to pay is based on several factors. What is the income of each party? What was the standard of living during the marriage? Is either party underemployed or deliberately unemployed? Is either party living beyond their means? What is the payor’s ability to pay? All of these aspects, and more, can have a bearing on giving you a definitive answer. To help you understand your rights and options, I strongly urge you to schedule an attorney consultation.

Its really difficult to give a range because you would need to give more facts about the case.  Is there a custody issue?  Division of assets?  Negotiation of alimony?  How long was the marriage?  Where are the parties living now.  Many people say they have an "easy" divorce and then wind up litigating every issue. we usually start with a $5000 retainer, but under certain circumstances, ask for more or less.  If you would like to contact my office, we can discuss your matter.
