Actually, alimony has nothing to do with children, it's money one spouse is required to give the other after a separation if there's some reason the other spouse can't earn adequate money (like women who have a hard time getting jobs because they spent time out of the workforce). If money is changing hands having to do with children, that's "child support", not alimony.

You should ask an attorney. I know that with my divorce I was careful to list alimony as reserved for a future date, but for now I am not getting it. he pays child support and the court will not take out so much support that he cannot sustain himself. If he makes a significant amount more than he did when we divorced I may consider alimony. We were also married 15 years. Alimony is about support, and not expectation. However, my ex in-laws got divorced and the judge ordered him to pay $350 a month for the rest of her life because they were married 35 years. so just consult a specialist and see what they say.

Probably, unless you put him through school and increased his wage dramatically. Given the ratio of income, when you are divorced you might ask the judge for alimony (also called maintenance) for a period long enough for you to get some type of training to increase your own income.
For example, if you know of a community college program for RNs (nursing) and that interests you, it is a two year program and a judge may support him contributing to that educational process for a specified period of time.
If not, your income should allow you to get Pell grants, etc. to do the same type of schooling and drag yourself up by the bootstraps. It won't be easy but you can do it.

i know a few couples that have divorced in the past 2 yrs., you only get alimony for half the time you were married. so if you've been married for 5 yrs., then you would get 2 1/2 yrs. of alimony.
but if you settle for something big like the house, you could do something like have him make the payments while you live there. if you have a good attorney, he/she will know exactly what to do to get you what you deserve. hope everything works out for you.

Unlikely you would get any maintenance as it is called, unless there was some reason you could not work and earn an income.
My wife got no maintenance after we divorced being married for 10 years with 1 child.

Don't know and only the judge will determine that. Any connection between his decision is justice is likely to be conincidental so be prepared to support yourself.
