I don'tife time believe that it is necessary for her to receive life time support. A lot of the settlement will depend on the diistribution of assets that the two of you have acquired during the marriage. There is a guidelne amount that has to be paid for child support, but alimony in the Commonwealth of PA is not determined by a set formula. In PA slimony is a secindary remedy coming only after the division of property is decided, Ie. she can get a larger portion of the assets for a lesser amount of alimony or alimony for a shorter period of time.
