Massachusetts laws ...the amount of alimony should generally not exceed the recipient's need or 30 to 35% of the difference between the parties' gross incomes established at the time of the order being issued.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court took a novel approach and determined that the alimony law and the child support guidelines allow the court to consider awarding both alimony and child support based on the same income.

40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.

Joint Custody Cons Not every divorced couple is able to work together. In some cases joint custody just leads to more fighting and bitter parents using a child as a bargaining chip for petty revenge. Lastly, in some cases the split supervision may result in some of the child's needs being missed or outright ignored.
