Nodine to pay alimony, child support

MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) - On the same day Steve Nodine was arrested for drug charges, he and his wife filed for divorce. Those papers reveal the proposed divorce settlement between Kimberlee and Nodine.

Kimberlee Nodine will maintain custody of their 13-year-old son. Steve Nodine has visitation rights and will pay $971 a month in child support payments until his son turns 19.

The papers show that Kimberlee will live in the family home, but Steve will pay the mortgage, insurance and taxes.

The county commissioner will also pay $2,500 a month in alimony payments.

It's a hefty chunk out of his salary. The papers show Steve earns $6,666.66 a month.

But it doesn't end there. Commissioner Nodine agreed to pay for his wife's legal expenses during the divorce, and he'll hand over his retirement pay to her.

In separate papers filed that day, Kimberlee Nodine had a statement which read, "I feel too much has happened between us for things to ever be good again."

The agreement, which both signed, must still be approved by a judge.
