She needs to move forward with court, even if the divorce isn't granted then at least she is getting the support for the kids (assuming she has custody) should be 16% of his AGI if she is the custodail parent. AGI is gross pay less taxes and any other NONE required deductions. IF his AGI is $40,000 a year the child support would be $533 or somewhere in that neighborhood. Another little known fact that may push him in to working out the details: MS is not an alimony state however a judge can order spousal support while the divorce is pending. My judge did this under the guise of helping her reestablish her life; she left and I have to pay go figure. So far it has cost me an extra $8,000 that I would not have had to pay.
