Depending on the state, it depends on how long you have been married. If you have been married for a while and you will be making the most money then he probably could, but my understanding is if you are not making the money yet than he can't sue you because it wasn't aquired in the marriage. I would be carefully, because if you are planning on leaving you better have good exit strategy. You don't know what he is planning, so I would refrain from telling him what you will be making or that you will even get a job after you graduate. Don't devulge all of your information. Start seperating everything.

Good for you for getting your degree! I just got mine too and the answer you are looking for is no. When you get divorced, spousal support is based on a spouse maintaining the same lifestyle. If you are only working part-time, and he is working full-time, then that's what they would base it on if you've been married long enough to get spousal support. Also something to consider. Spousal support is suppose to help the spouse who has the lower income or has been staying at home to have an opportunity to become self-sufficient.
Best of luck with this and school!

If your planning on leaving that far in advance and just waiting to graduate, then he should sue you. You would be just using him to finish you education and letting him be your major support while going to school. How would you feel if it was the other way around?

Well iam sorry but it sounds like your using him, but anyway If you feel like what your doing is right or fair, why would you think he would sue you. But to answer your question i think he could if you where making alot more then he was at the time of separation or if he paid for a large amount of your schooling. But you need to leave before it comes to all that

I don't know about Kansas but in the state where I live he can sue you for alimony based on your POTENTIAL to make money. Mine tried it, but failed because I divorced him before I graduated.
