Father is getting a divorce in AZ from a 13 year marriage to a stay at home Mom since child was born (child is 2). Worked full time previously. Finances not huge issue but if it's been 5 or 6 months since temporary orders went into effect keeping mother's lifestyle at exactly what it was before, at the end of that 6 months at the final decree, what would the alimony most likely be and for what duration? Lawyer is telling father most likely alimony will not be awarded. 

Mother is set on not working and continuing to be a stay at home Mom, since separation 7.5 month ago has not tried to find any work, says she has no place to live once house is sold and can only live 165 miles away in Mexico with her mom. Mother is asking for full custody with visitation at mother's discretion whilst living across the border. 

Mothers lawyer is claiming that Father's emotional break and subsequent attempt at suicide while alone directly after divorce news and custody claim is enough to be awarded full custody. No other police or medical incidents in the entire marriage and no police visits to residence ever. Father was treated at hospital for a mandatory 6 day stay and was diagnosed as a emotional break and released at day 6.

Mother found out that father was being released after treatment and successfully committed father to a different involuntary mental institute straight from the first hospital program claiming father's parents signed off falsely. Second institution recognized that father was already treated and in good mental and discharged father same day hours after sheriff's brought him. 

My question is ultimately besides alimony amount and length, is an attempted suicide with no previous issues or reports or claims in the past enough to award custody to mother? Multiple psychiatrists and therapist and long-time primary care doctor have stated that mental health is good and that father's attempt was caused solely based on the emotional break. The attempt by father was made alone while mother and child were visiting Mexico. Father has no record and long time steady high-paying job as well as long-term steady housing situations. Father also has more than six character witnesses from doctors, therapists, a teacher and a police officer detailing his personality and emotional character as well as supporting good fatherhood characteristics. 

Ultimately is father making a mistake thinking he has good chances at joint custody. So child cannot move away and miss crucial time with Father at such a young age.
