Divorce Question About Virginia.?

Question by Joseph K: Divorce question about Virginia.?
I have a friend who doesn’t know where to turn. His wife doesn’t love him (according to her) and is contemplating a divorce. He is the sole provider in the home (he wokrs, she does not). They have 4 kids. According to him, she wants a divorce (in Virginia) just becuase she does not love him anymore. No hanky-panky on either side. According to the husband, he was willing to try everything to keep the marriage together (counseling, etc. – no drinking, no abuse, no drugs, no infidelity on either side), but she simply will have none of it. I’m not sure if she wants the kids or not, he didn’t say. Any advice I can give him? How much in spousal support will he be required to pay to her? Let’s say, she gets custody of 2 of the kids, and he gets the other two. Sadly, it appears that if she leaves, they will lose their house since he cannot afford to pay both spousal support and the mortgage. They have been married 21 years. How long does he have to pay spousal support?
