Alimony is rarely given today. Spousal support is typically only given after marriage of 10 or more years end, and then only if there is a great disparity in incomes.
So if you didn't get this in the divorce, it's unlikely you will get this now.
So get a better job, go to school, do something other than looking for someone to hand you money just because you once knew them.

The answer is no, either get the alimony, or receive welfare just until you get a job, and get a few paychecks, then you can care for yourself. You shouldn't expect everyone else to take care of you and your bills, you have a responsibility to take care of yourself, get a job, pay your bills just like everyone else, including your ex husband.

If he's your 'ex-husband' then apparently the divorce is already final. If so, you're not going to get alimony *now*. You should have asked for it during the divorce. But even if you had, unless you met the requirements for it (and it requires a lot more than just having been married) you still wouldn't have gotten it.

why are you on welfare? Are you unable to work? learn? Get a job go back to school and stop worrying about how someone can take care of you. Welfare is the most abused system we have in this country.

Yes, but social services will claim it for themselves. You have to claim that as income, which will be deducted off of your check.
