can a wife get spouse support after 5 months of marriage?

Answer 1

I hope not. 5 months isnt much of a marriage. Alimony is reserved for women who set aside their own career pursuits to focus on her family. If only 5 months have passed, then she can leave the marriage and get a job.

Answer 2

Thank you for the good humor, but just in case you are serious.....
A spouse is entitled to spousal support for half of the length of the marriage ( not the time first started living together, but actual marriage ). With it being less than a year though, most judges would see a wife asking for spousal support after only 5 months as a gold digger, and have a good chuckle in chambers after denying her the claim.

Answer 3

Not normally. You have to invest more than 5 months to be entitled to anything. Spousal support is supposed to be for spouses that didn't work to raise the children or take care of the home. It's not something they just give out because the marriage ended.
I don't know how many years you were with him, but if it was only legal for 5 months, your not likely to get support.

Answer 4

It was 5 months, you shouldn't need it. Don't want it just because your greedy. It makes the woman who actually need it look bad. There is woman out there that have never worked a day in their life outside of the home. And after 20 yrs of marriage get divorced. They definetly deserve it and in most cases couldn't servive with out it. If you can make it on your own, you should. Don't try to be greedy. That's just wrong.

And I have no idea if you can get it after only 5 months. But I do believe you can only get it for the amount of time you were married. Which would be 5 months. So its hardly worth the effort because you usually will have to go to court for it.

Answer 5

Excuse me what on earth made you marry for such a short time this is pathetic. It seems like you and many others think marriage is just word not realizing that it is a vow, commitment to the one person we wish to spend our entire life with. Really I think either you were too young to have done this or just made a really dumb mistake in either case if you go for marriage again maybe you should choose more wisely and realize that marriage is not a cake-walk. Marriage takes time, devotion, and love for your spouse. If after reading the vows or since you probably have heard them many times over the course of your life, and could not commit yourself to living with one person for life then that should have been a sure sign that marriage was not for you!.

Answer 6

you would only get it for 2 to 3 months (half the time of the marriage). Once married for 2 years, you get it until you get married again.

Answer 7

If they can it would be for half the length of the marriage which would be 2-3 months. That is almost comical.

Answer 8

it's usually for half the time you've been married, so it would be for two months. The question is why would she want it? Does she have no damn pride? When a man leaves a woman he supports himself. If there are no kids involved she's being a money grubbing slimeball. If you want to be treated equal to a man, act like it. Women like this are worthless and predators.

Answer 9

Yes but it is highly unlikely in Georgia or any other state. It would have to be some unusual circumstances for a judge to award support. Like one party is a millionaire, there were kids, you quit your job or you moved entirely away from your family. All those things would be considered but I doubt it would be awarded.

Answer 10

Nope, five months is not long enough to establish a marriage to emass "marital assets". Besides most states don't even awards spousal support any longer.
