    She makes more than me.
    If my wife makes more than me and we're thinking about divorcing, would she have to pay me alimony if we both have 50% custody?

    Alimony and custody are two different things.

    Alimony is also called spousal support.

    Support is child support.

    What State? Spousal support is a matter of comparing assets and what each person takes from the marriage.

    Usually there is no child support with shared custody, so I don't think that's possible.

    You need to contact an attorney to be sure, but I was under the impression that if you were working and were able to support yourself and there wasn't a huge difference in salaries, that you would not get spousal support.
